Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Shifter (ranked 536 p4p, 82 weight class) and Donal Noye (ranked 894 p4p, 144 weight class). Shifter comes into the arena with Lützenkirchen- Nutcracker blaring out of the sound system. Noye has chosen Horse the Band - Cutsman as his entrance music. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eugeniy Petrov (ranked 1017 p4p, 163 weight class) and Jack Number (ranked 1064 p4p, 171 weight class). Number has chosen This is A Film - Iggy Pop (Goran Bregovič) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jack Number 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!
