Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Sandman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Willie Wynn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sandman comes into the arena with Enter Sandman blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wynn's choice of entrance music: Flower Of Scotland - Red Hot Chilli Pipers. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Dixon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clinical Cpw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dixon comes to the cage accompanied by The Clash - I Fought The Law. The crowd seem to be enjoying Cpw's choice of entrance music: Purple Rain. 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 Clinical Cpw was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
