Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jamie Carlson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Snoozer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carlson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rage Against The Machine: Bulls On Parade . Snoozer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Prodigy - Spitfire. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Zhitnik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Vovochka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zhitnik might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Leper Messiah. 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?
