Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jason Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donovan DeAntonio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Moby - Extreme Ways . DeAntonio has chosen "Psychosocial" by Slipknot as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Donovan DeAntonio 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!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Christ (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cory Trevor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Christ's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Everything in it's right place. Trevor has chosen Can't Not Be Feelin Dis as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jesus Christ has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
