Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jack Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams has chosen All the Above- Maino ft. T-Pain 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jukkis Karvakorva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bhang Bhang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Karvakorva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Petos - Katkeraan Loppuun Asti Feat Adebizi, Konna . Bhang has chosen SMC - RAFFII SUOMI FLÄTTII as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
