Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hemmo Hujoppi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Handsome Cpw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hujoppi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cockney Rejects - Fighting In The Streets. The crowd seem to be enjoying Cpw's choice of entrance music: Steve McQueen. Hemmo Hujoppi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tero Rokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Marsden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rokka kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Drowning Pool - Bodies. Mike Marsden 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!
