Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aleksei Kruschev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Dean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kruschev kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Shout at the Devil by Motley Crue. Dean has chosen http://www.thewrestlinggame.com/wg.asp?w=111137064 as his entrance music. Christopher Dean has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Toomas Ilves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eugene Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ilves kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Military Soviet Hymn. Lee has chosen Eye of the Tiger as his entrance music. 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 Eugene Lee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
