Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between The Shifu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vlad Putin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shifu's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kung-Fu Hustle. Putin has chosen V. Putin - Blueberry Hills 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nicolai Brasnof (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Savage has chosen Mother - Danzig as his entrance music. Nicolai Brasnof had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
