Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sallah Alcoubrah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Carson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alcoubrah kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 80s Kidz - Alt A. 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 Muhammed Muhammed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jin Sen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Muhammed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Smooth Criminal Saudi edition. Sen is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Let It Rock. Jin Sen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
