Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Watson comes to the cage accompanied by When They Come For Me by Linkin Park. McDonald has chosen March of Cambreadth as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Kingston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terence Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kingston kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Public Enemy - Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos. 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.
