Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nelli Kuukeri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Autumn Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunter is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys. 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 Autumn Hunter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andreas Ottosson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samuraimo Rassi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ottosson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best. Rassi has chosen Damian Marley - It Was Written as his entrance music. Samuraimo Rassi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fincent LeBlond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Emmanuel Bredenberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LeBlond kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kari Tapio - Olen Suomalainen. Bredenberg has chosen Heja Bamse as his entrance music. 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.
