Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hessu Hopo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Saari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hopo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bodies. Saari has chosen Beck - Loser 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 Henry Saari was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maximus Meridius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brett Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Meridius might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sexion d'Assaut - Desole . Rogers has chosen Rohff feat Big Ali - Dirty Houss as his entrance music. Meridius is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Brett Rogers has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Boondocks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cleveland Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown has chosen Cleveland Brown Rap as his entrance music. Brown has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Billy Boondocks has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
