Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Eastmond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Ehrmantraut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eastmond kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nelly- Here Comes The Boom . 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Rubble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopez comes to the cage accompanied by Apeman. Rubble has chosen Rage Against The Machine - No Shelter 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 Barney Rubble was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
