Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Noel Contemprato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antti Rannanjarvi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Contemprato's entrance music is This Is How We Do It. A fine choice. Rannanjarvi has chosen Stonehenge by Spinal Tap as his entrance music. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Zulu Chaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruce Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chaka's entrance music is Bohemian Rapsody. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jenkins's choice of entrance music: take it like a man. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
