Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chris Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tonto MacTavish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griffin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Evil Monkey. MacTavish is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Blachovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lentti Pindegren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blachovich might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Enter Sandman. 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?
