Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Guerrero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonard STAM (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guerrero's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eye Of The Storm. STAM has chosen Tony Iommi - Grace as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Leonard STAM has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lars Thunstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yago Gutierrez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thunstrom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prodigy - Spitfire. Gutierrez has chosen Justified by AMEN as his entrance music. Yago Gutierrez will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Soriano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Carpio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soriano's entrance music is Bebot by The Black Eyed Peas. A fine choice. Carpio has chosen Rico Swave 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.
