Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chad Murray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tsar Bomba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murray comes into the arena with Dead man walking blaring out of the sound system. Bomba comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Stratovarius - Abyss Of Your Eyes kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Tsar Bomba 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joaquin Fortunado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kimo Ovaska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fortunado might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stairway to Heaven. Ovaska is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Big Balls by AC/DC. 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.
