Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diego Batista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kimbo Slice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Batista's entrance music is Triunfo . A fine choice. Slice has chosen Hit em' Up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wango Tango (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mizushima Muroi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tango kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing. Muroi has chosen Get Out - Circa Survive as his entrance music. Mizushima Muroi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
