Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yoshihiro Asai (ranked 433 p4p, 58 weight class) and Gemellus Axius (ranked 1146 p4p, 139 weight class). Asai comes into the arena with Kaze Ni Nare blaring out of the sound system. Axius comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Feed the Machine kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Gemellus Axius was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikolay Panayotov (ranked 1707 p4p, 221 weight class) and Gunnar Wylde (ranked 2184 p4p, 261 weight class). Panayotov comes into the arena with Mad World - Gary Jules / Tears For Fears (Cover by Jasmine Thompson) blaring out of the sound system. Wylde is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Black Label Society - Parade of the Dead. 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 Gunnar Wylde was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
