Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dag Daghammar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michal Korek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Spawn Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vesa Sykk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diego comes to the cage accompanied by Turn it up(Shine On) Chamillionaire. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sykk's choice of entrance music: Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name . 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 Vesa Sykk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hans Huber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Romero has chosen Havana as his entrance music.
