Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Martyn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brandom Vera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martyn's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Live For The Moment. Vera has chosen Master Of Puppets as his entrance music. Brandom Vera 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!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Timothy Mcgee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mcgee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is McGee. 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 Scott Morgan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kron Kenny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Reed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Luke Reed was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
