Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pithe Canthropus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Earl Sanders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Canthropus's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pizzaman - Trippin' On Sunshine. Sanders has chosen LL Cool J as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Earl Sanders will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sham Wowner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santiago comes into the arena with Ain't No Sunshine-DMX blaring out of the sound system. Wowner has chosen Empire as his entrance music. Sham Wowner struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Sham Wowner will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
