Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Cross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marc Jay Lakay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cross kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enter Sandman- Metallica . 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 Marc Jay Lakay was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kirk Murphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hamish McGibbs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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?
