Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Vinny Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bas Dekkers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hopkins comes to the cage accompanied by Manny Pacquiao - Lalaban Ako . Dekkers has chosen Shells - Get your roll on as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Hector Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Serge Spectre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Romero might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Havana. Spectre is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: For Heavy Metal we will die!. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
