Canti has chosen Roscoe Dash - All The Way Turnt Up ft. Soulja Boy Tell'em as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fred Hanks has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rodrigo Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauri Ruoska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diaz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sepultura - Refuse/Resist. Ruoska has chosen Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the devil as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
