Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between French Toast (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Muay Thai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toast's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, EAZY-E - Real Muthaphuckkin' G's. Thai comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Town Called Malice kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Muay Thai is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Luger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Noonan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Luger's entrance music is Right Here, Right Now - Fatboy Slim. A fine choice. Noonan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 3DD - Kryptonite. 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?
