Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dustin Kruger (ranked 700 p4p, 11 weight class) and Buster Napoleon (ranked 499 p4p, 25 weight class). Kruger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enter The Spingbok Ninja. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Lao Shin (ranked 15 p4p, 3 weight class) and Afeef Isa Baba (ranked 82 p4p, 13 weight class). Shin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shaolin Chamber of Death. Baba is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Nation Arabic Orchestra. 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 Afeef Isa Baba was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
