Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wolfram Stelzer (ranked 290 p4p, 44 weight class) and Daniel Mosby (ranked 173 p4p, 26 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stelzer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Business Time. Wolfram Stelzer could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Daniel Mosby's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Dias Jimenez (ranked 128 p4p, 20 weight class) and Saul Goodman (ranked 34 p4p, 5 weight class). Goodman comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Baba O'riley kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Musta Laine (ranked 29 p4p, 5 weight class) and Lao Shin (ranked 24 p4p, 4 weight class). Laine comes into the arena with Disturbed - Sound of Silence blaring out of the sound system. Shin has chosen Shaolin Chamber of Death as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Russian Obama (ranked 11 p4p, 3 weight class) and Matt Quin (ranked 49 p4p, 9 weight class). Obama comes to the cage accompanied by 5 minutes Alone. Quin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Captain Jack - Iko Iko. 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.
