Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donny Brook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rogers kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Black and Yellow" - Wiz Khalifa. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brass Knuckles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drandt Bavis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knuckles's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rooster. Bavis is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: When I'm Gone. 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?
