Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Dettman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Numero Cero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dettman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tupac-me and my girl friend. Cero has chosen Hate Me Now - Nas as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Numero Cero enters the cage!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Budo Rei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tolo Seia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rei's entrance music is Alice in Chains - No Excuses. A fine choice. Seia is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Limp Bizkit - Thieves. Tolo Seia has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
