Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between steve nieve (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shachlo Popyachtsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). nieve kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Do Ya Think Im sexy. Popyachtsa is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Upyachka Dance. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anton Chigurh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tarzan Taborda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chigurh comes into the arena with Kvelertak-Mjod blaring out of the sound system. Taborda is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: New Noise by Refused. On his way into the cage it seems that Anton Chigurh has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Anton Chigurh seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Whelan Mahoney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sheamus Noonan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mahoney's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, KISS - Unholy. 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.
