Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Bruce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Armand Agasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bruce comes to the cage accompanied by Joy Division - Atmosphere. Agasi has chosen Disicable -:Eminem 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 Armand Agasi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jakob Broberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franz Uther (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Broberg kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is LMFAO-Sexy and I know it. Franz Uther will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rocky Balboa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timo Harjakainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harjakainen has chosen Let's Go Fiesta as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
