Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shaun Truck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Petrovolinksi Kotoski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Truck comes into the arena with Knockin Heads Off blaring out of the sound system. Kotoski has chosen Till I Collapse as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Pernambucano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matti Kuusela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pernambucano kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Samba Rio de Janeiro. 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?
