Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Slimbo Kice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Furstenfeld (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kice kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is F**k The Other Side. Furstenfeld has chosen Linkin Park - No More Sorrow as his entrance music. Charlie Furstenfeld told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Asturiem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Remy Lava (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Asturiem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fernandinho - Sede de Justiça. The crowd seem to be enjoying Lava's choice of entrance music: Numero 1. Alexander Asturiem has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
