Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrus Orlhovki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bernard Blake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orlhovki's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rolling Stones - Paint it black. Blake is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Frenzal Rhomb - You Are Not My Friend. 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 Bernard Blake was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sero Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kim might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to CANON in D Korean Version (with gayageum) . Silva has chosen BLUNT- The Iron Maiden as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
