Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Josh Faber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sebastian Rynkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rynkowski has chosen Mama Selita - 303 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 Sebastian Rynkowski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terryn Dall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Curran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Skin for Skin. 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?
