Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jim Hatfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Afro Ninja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hatfield kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Deliverance Theme. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ninja's choice of entrance music: Afro Ninja. Afro Ninja told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johann Jennsensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ozzy Wagner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Ozzy Wagner will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
