Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shinya Imanari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick van Greeven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Imanari kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Era - Ameno. van Greeven has chosen Tom Waits - Telephone call from Istanbul as his entrance music. 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 Mats Madsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lloyd Christmas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Madsen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jedi Mind Tricks - Heavy Metal Kings. The crowd seem to be enjoying Christmas's choice of entrance music: Mocking Bird. Mats Madsen could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Lloyd Christmas's chin.
