Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Quiet Monkey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raimundo Sobral (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Monkey might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Epic - Faith No More. Sobral has chosen The Baddest-Krispy Kreme 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Darren Myles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jakke Ruutu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Myles comes to the cage accompanied by Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ruutu's choice of entrance music: 50 Cent - I'm Supposed to Die Tonight. 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.
