Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Inge Koll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bishop's entrance music is Drunkula - Lift The Whip. A fine choice. Koll has chosen Burn in hell 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Brealey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Teaching You. Alex Brealey has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
