Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shinigami Hyuuku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Delinquent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hyuuku's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Killing In The Name Of/Rage Against The Machine. Delinquent has chosen On The Warpath as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Shinigami Hyuuku has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nanaki Crimson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryu Chyn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crimson comes to the cage accompanied by Opeth - Deliverance. Chyn has chosen I wish as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ryu Chyn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
