Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Taneli Hauki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Umberto Sotto Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Pitbull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Emmanuel Bredenberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bredenberg has chosen Heja Bamse as his entrance music. Pitbull has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Tatsuo Nakano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hjalmar Thorhalla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nakano might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disturbed - Decadance. Thorhalla has chosen Disturbed / Down With The Sickness as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tatsuo Nakano had a look across the ring there at his opponent. He definitely means business
