Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Calvin Broadous (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hulk Morrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Broadous kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Snoop Dogg I Wanna Rock. Morrison has chosen Heart Rocking Magic Man LIVE for the crowd tonight! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hulk Morrison is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tiger Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Headden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is MANY MEN. 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.
