Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Da Cougar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Stouut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cougar's entrance music is Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers. A fine choice. Stouut is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fight Music-D-12. 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?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stanley Fofano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esko Tiutinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fofano's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, City of Blinding Lights. Tiutinen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rolling Stones - Paint it black. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Esko Tiutinen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
