Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Distor Centura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Musta Laine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Centura might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 12 Stones - Bulletproof. Laine has chosen Somnium - After All as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Juan Koski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luigi Vercotti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Accept - Head Over Heels. Vercotti is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Poverty - Ennio Morricone. Luigi Vercotti told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
