Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Randolf Brox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Skywalker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brox comes to the cage accompanied by Avassaladores ft. Michael Jackson - Sou Foda. Skywalker has chosen Raised on Rock 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Samuel Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Vinyard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Washington comes into the arena with Jared Hudson - Metal Gear May Cry blaring out of the sound system. Vinyard has chosen Here Comes The Pain 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.
