Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Josh Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Michaels comes to the cage accompanied by Alice In Chains - Man In The Box. Miller has chosen Deftones - Change 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Gunnar Strom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Vinyard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Strom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Need a Hero. Vinyard has chosen Here Comes The Pain 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?
