Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Artur Sowinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Clay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sowinski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Totentanz-Swiatlo Dnia. Alex Clay 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Randy Mataiya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mataiya kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metalingus - Alter Bridge. 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?
