Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Herbert Truck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fidel Puno Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Truck kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Indestructible. Fidel Puno Jr struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 267.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vinnie Barbarino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Arlovski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barbarino might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Barbarino song. Arlovski has chosen Machine Head-Now I Lay Thee Down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Vinnie Barbarino could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Vladimir Arlovski's chin.
