Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wes Sims (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cru Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sims's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eminem, Xzibit, & Nate Dogg - Say My Name. 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 Cru Jones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mike Norris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug McSwain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McSwain has chosen Jack Thammarat - My Headache Song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
