Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Lydon (ranked 469 p4p, 851 weight class) and Jami Jarr (ranked 72 p4p, 126 weight class). Lydon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Queen - Don't Stop Me Now . Jarr has chosen Wahhabi I as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jami Jarr will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Bob McDonald (ranked 160 p4p, 239 weight class) and Tobig Tofail (ranked 5 p4p, 9 weight class). McDonald's entrance music is Ray Wylie Hubbard - Redneck Mother. A fine choice. Tofail has chosen Too sexy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
