Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anabol Asteroid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Silvera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Asteroid comes into the arena with Asteroid blaring out of the sound system. Silvera has chosen Wedlock as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nino Blaze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Emeka Shakur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blaze comes to the cage accompanied by Pendulum - Slam. Shakur has chosen Tatanka - Africa as his entrance music. 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 Emeka Shakur was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
