Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aarne Juutilainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Malham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Juutilainen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Legenda - Cohorts Of Demons. The crowd seem to be enjoying Malham's choice of entrance music: Amorphis - House of Sleep. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cookie Monster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Demian Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Monster might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cookie Monster Eating Cookie. Cookie Monster could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Demian Silva's chin.
