Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sebastiaan Hoost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoost's entrance music is Redemption Song. A fine choice. Smith is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kanye West - Power. Alex Smith has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Morrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg Mungo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morrison's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Alive. 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.
