Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bob Baun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arshad Singh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baun kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 50 Mission Cap - Tragically Hip. The crowd seem to be enjoying Singh's choice of entrance music: "How You Like Me Now?" by The Heavy. 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 Burdon Ambler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Neilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Neilson has chosen Who Run This- 50 cent as his entrance music. Burdon Ambler had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Burdon Ambler could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Kevin Neilson's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sir Topham Hatt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hatt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sweep the Leg. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jones's choice of entrance music: Go DJ by Lil Wayne. Dave Jones will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
