Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Mustaine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kanbei Shimada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mustaine's entrance music is This Day We Fight! by Megadeth. A fine choice. Shimada is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Party and Bullshit. 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 Luke Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Foreman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foreman has chosen Impaled Nazarene - 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 George Foreman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
