Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Rojo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thom Ruff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rojo comes to the cage accompanied by You're Going Down. Ruff has chosen Tougher than Leather as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James Jaffer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dong Ming Pak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jaffer comes into the arena with DubRaider- Starry Eyes blaring out of the sound system. 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 Dong Ming Pak was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
