Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Farrokh Bulsara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barry Opdauhl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bulsara kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bohemian Rhapsody. Barry Opdauhl 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!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kelvin Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drake Kartella (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parker's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Flash - Queen . Kartella has chosen ICE-T That's How Im Livin as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
