Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pyotr Alexeyevich Romanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ren Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alexeyevich Romanov comes into the arena with Paint it black blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gracie's choice of entrance music: Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck. Pyotr Alexeyevich Romanov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.0lbs, 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. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Biggie Smalls (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bud Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smalls comes to the cage accompanied by The Notorious B.I.G. - Somebody 's Gotta Die. Spencer has chosen Banana Joe Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
