Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Donzel Fortunado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Njord Freyr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fortunado's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bob Dylan-Knockin' on Heaven's Door . Freyr is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Twilight of the Thunder God. 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 Simon Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renzo Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, UFC: Closer to the Edge (Jared Leto). Machida is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: No more Shadows for the Past- NARNIA. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
