Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dave Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sir Topham Hatt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Go DJ by Lil Wayne. Hatt has chosen . 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Mcgrath (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rich Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mcgrath kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 50 cent feat. Akon - I'll still kill. Silva is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Human Sacrifice. Rich Silva will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
