Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between BJ Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bullfrog Snakeshoes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Snakeshoes has chosen NEON as his entrance music. Bullfrog Snakeshoes will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gunner State (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shinji Tainaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). State comes to the cage accompanied by Blaze Of Glory by Bon Jovi. Tainaka has chosen BATTLE FUNKASTIC as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Gunner State has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gunner State seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richard Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Bryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Evans's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Zemitan. Bryan has chosen Nickelback - Burn It To the Ground as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
