Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jerone Jamison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Syder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Syder has chosen Let The Bodies Hit the Floor as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Justin Syder was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Busta Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oisin O Conghaile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black's entrance music is Ready or Not. A fine choice. O Conghaile has chosen The Deer's Cry by Angelina as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. O Conghaile has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Oisin O Conghaile is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
