Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Enrico Genetia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Toons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toons has chosen Release The Pain by Hatesphere as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tommy Toons told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jason Steele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinicius Kruger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Steele might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Terminator Theme. Kruger is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: House Boulevard - Set Me Free. Jason Steele has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
