Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugo Smackthatcow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Igor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smackthatcow's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wretches & Kings. Igor is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Die Young. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sal Manella (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Pierce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manella comes into the arena with Egg blaring out of the sound system. Rafael Pierce told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
