Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Teller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Torrance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Teller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is God's Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash. Torrance has chosen Shadow on the Sun by Audioslave as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Leandro Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Safo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alves might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thin Lizzy - Angel of Death. Safo has chosen Up Your Speed by Sway DaSafo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
