Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Armand Christophe (ranked 897 p4p, 675 weight class) and Wallace Cobb (ranked 131 p4p, 103 weight class). Christophe comes to the cage accompanied by Shadows. Cobb is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Where's Wallace?. Armand Christophe looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yago Nascimento (ranked 42 p4p, 289 weight class) and Butch Frewin (ranked 4 p4p, 17 weight class). Nascimento comes to the cage accompanied by Aggressive War Epic Music Collection!. Frewin has chosen Billy the Squid's Water Pistol by The Neptunas as his entrance music. 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 Butch Frewin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
