Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between ReaperLord Tyberos (ranked 879 p4p, 1378 weight class) and Steven Christie (ranked 77 p4p, 119 weight class). Tyberos's entrance music is Today We Hunt!. A fine choice. Christie has chosen Amityville as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Calvin Deane (ranked 628 p4p, 1139 weight class) and Giant Benandonner (ranked 36 p4p, 66 weight class). Deane kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cinderella Man. Calvin Deane could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Giant Benandonner's chin.
