Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jet Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tatsuya Aoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Li's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tourniquet by Evanescence. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fritzie Zivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Con Waterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zivic comes to the cage accompanied by La La Girl by Paffendorf. Waterson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Oasis - Roll With It. 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.
