Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Krystian Wojnasiewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lao Shin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wojnasiewicz's entrance music is Ministry - Lies lies lies. A fine choice. Shin has chosen Shaolin Chamber of Death 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 Ray Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stanly Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lewis comes to the cage accompanied by LL Cool J - Momma said knock you out. Williams is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kenny Loggins - I'm free. 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.
