Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kung Lao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Brone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lao kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rock Superstar by Cypress Hill. Brone is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by FINLANDIA by Jean Sibelius. Jason Brone has the eye of the tiger tonight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Terry Tonbridge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve McQueen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tonbridge's entrance music is The Cumshots - I Drink Alone. A fine choice. 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 Steve McQueen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
