Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kid Quick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Dover (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quick's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Cruising in Miami" by Bass 305. Dover is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I'm Shipping up to Boston. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thor Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chazz Gecko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Vlad the Impaler. Gecko has chosen Bon Jovi: Livin' On A Prayer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Chazz Gecko has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
