Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Richard Cheese (ranked 3561 p4p, 3139 weight class) and Dingleberry Jones (ranked 411 p4p, 376 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rufus Rutger (ranked 1385 p4p, 1802 weight class) and Robbie Hell (ranked 226 p4p, 293 weight class). Rutger's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wardance. Hell has chosen King of kings by Manowar as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rufus Rutger had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
