Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mark The Sniper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Lytle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Sniper's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Surprise! You're Dead!. Lytle has chosen Light's Out as his entrance music. 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 Christopher Lytle was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tony Jax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zack Allan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jax kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Immortal Technique - The Rebel. Allan has chosen FLAMES as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
