Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James House (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Zanico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). House kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Instruments of Destruction. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Roth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cray Daddy Tay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Roth might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shawn Michaels - Sexy Boy. Tay has chosen Blue (Dancing Crayfish Version) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
