Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex Brannigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zmesan Borec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brannigan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is QOTSA - 'You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire'. Borec has chosen Megadeth - Lucretia as his entrance music. Zmesan Borec struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. The key to victory for Alex Brannigan has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jakob Ultra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruce Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ultra might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fistful of steel - Rage against the machine. Jenkins is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by take it like a man. Jakob Ultra could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bruce Jenkins's chin.
