Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rolo Pup (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Flash Elorde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pup's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Stone Cold. 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 Flash Elorde was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between DB Cooper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boa Constrictor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Constrictor is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: American Bad Ass. 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.
