Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roger Marsden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Braida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Braida's choice of entrance music: Here I am. 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 Brian Braida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Belfort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Takeru Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belfort's entrance music is Burn It To The Ground. A fine choice. Kyle has chosen I Like to Move It as his entrance music. 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?
