Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Joel Bailey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Nolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bailey kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Never Gonna Give You Up. Nolan has chosen Ice Cream Paint Job-Lil Wayne as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Axel Van Dam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shamrock comes to the cage accompanied by Rockstar. Van Dam has chosen Beatdown - Gunman Joe as his entrance music.
