Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tronic Thermo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrey Nazarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thermo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Party Hard by Andrew W.K.. 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 Andrey Nazarov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Camel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Green's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Transplants - Romper Stomper. Charlie Green had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.8lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
