Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Childish Gambino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shia LaBeouf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gambino's entrance music is RAW (backwards). A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying LaBeouf's choice of entrance music: Riptide. 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 Shia LaBeouf was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pikku Nilkki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pelle Hermano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nilkki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fintelligens - Sori. Hermano comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Deadhead kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Pelle Hermano 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!
