Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Michael Cole (ranked 54 p4p, 9 weight class) and Russian Obama (ranked 72 p4p, 12 weight class). Cole's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Won't Back Down. The crowd seem to be enjoying Obama's choice of entrance music: 5 minutes Alone. Russian Obama has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Menace Defoe (ranked 8 p4p, 2 weight class) and Buzz Bixby (ranked 39 p4p, 6 weight class). Defoe's entrance music is Bodies. A fine choice. 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?
