Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Davie Brophy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ichabod Crane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brophy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pantera - Walk.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tiago Renato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hannes Haades (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Renato's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Want My Tears Back. Haades has chosen Accept - Head Over Heels 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.
