Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kain Saint (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mega Fredriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saint comes to the cage accompanied by Be Aggresive by Faith No More. Fredriksson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: DMX - Megatron Gon' Give It To Ya. 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 Sergei Baduk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicolai Demikovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baduk's entrance music is Leontiev Valera - Sokrovische Chernogo Morya. A fine choice. Demikovic has chosen Russian National Anthem as his entrance music. 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.
