Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Speva Koso (ranked 329 p4p, 49 weight class) and Marco Alvado (ranked 245 p4p, 35 weight class). Alvado is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ichense Dub. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Marco Alvado was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Iker Ramirez (ranked 95 p4p, 14 weight class) and Cobweb Cooter (ranked 287 p4p, 33 weight class). Ramirez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Master of Fire. Cooter has chosen Porch Honky as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
