Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mob Barley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juvintude DeNomee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). DeNomee is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I'm country. Juvintude DeNomee 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vacily Romanoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brooks might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lightning does the work. The crowd seem to be enjoying Romanoff's choice of entrance music: Copenhagen. Romanoff has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
