Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anderson De Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Silva kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is It's Time For War. Sanchez has chosen head up high as his entrance music. Anthony Sanchez 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Dante Orlando (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Goz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orlando's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Welcome to the Terrordome. George Goz has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
