Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Semmy Rizzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zirry Swan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rizzo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is open road song. Swan has chosen Blame it on my ADD 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Giant Kong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Earth Quake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kong comes to the cage accompanied by GIANT KONG. Quake has chosen PRODIGY - RUN WITH THE WOLVES as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
