Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tweedle Dee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hamilton Eslay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dee's entrance music is Chumbawamba - Tubthumping. A fine choice. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Hamilton Eslay was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rudi Guns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie Reyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guns kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dougie Panda.
