Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bill Cutting (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sean Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cutting's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Skrillex - Kill Everybody. Michaels is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Popeda - Raakaa voimaa. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Guru Majja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alfa Uros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Majja's entrance music is Afroman - Because I Got High. A fine choice. Uros has chosen Dirty Diana as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
