Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Samir Kahric (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marek Sobotka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kahric kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is When I Die - Genocide(Jusuf Dzilic). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Morris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Knut Paulsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morris's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, happy. Paulsen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Beyond the Permafrost. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Kagen Knight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Big J Smiles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smiles has chosen Smile Like You Mean It 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 Big J Smiles was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
