Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Inigo Montoya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mathew Maynard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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 Frank Micheals (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hans Laudrup (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Micheals kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Whoa is Me. Laudrup is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by U2- Zoo Station. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
