Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charlie McGregor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bulk Bogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGregor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bloc Party - Flux. Bogan has chosen Renunciation - Secret Chiefs 3 as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yabu Kersikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bomb might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Casino Royale Soundtrack - You Know My Name. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
