Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lucius Corvinus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and mike nike (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corvinus's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Maalaala Mo Kaya. nike has chosen cypris hill as his entrance music. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Denny Prokopos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ward kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Everything in its right place- Radio Head. Prokopos has chosen Deep River Blues - Doc Watson as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
