Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Fyodorov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Salva Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Salva Cruz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lennon Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Ricardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lewis's entrance music is LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out!. A fine choice. Ricardo has chosen Bang the Drum All Day as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
