Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ramon Dekkers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michel Rodalgo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dekkers's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Soul Collector by Raxyor. Rodalgo has chosen Ace of Spades - By Motorhead as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ramon Dekkers has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Bad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hanley Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bad's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rusty Cage by Johnny Cash. Ramirez has chosen Black Republican -- Nas 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.
