Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Terrence Thornton (ranked 915 p4p, 125 weight class) and Sergio Garcia (ranked 887 p4p, 120 weight class). Thornton comes to the cage accompanied by Pusha T - Exodus 23:1. Garcia has chosen Ludacris - Beast Mode as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Sergio Garcia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ueda Umanouke (ranked 16 p4p, 1 weight class) and Matt Hunt (ranked 87 p4p, 8 weight class). Umanouke's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kenji Kawai's Making of a Cyborg. Matt Hunt will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
