Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tom Haverford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kiser Sosa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haverford comes into the arena with Jay-Z & Kanye West - N** In Paris blaring out of the sound system. Sosa has chosen Fantasy 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Misual Lal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Robertson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lal kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rocky Theme Song. On his way into the cage it seems that Misual Lal has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Misual Lal seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adolf Ellenberger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Dwyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ellenberger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blitztkrieg. Dwyer has chosen Dave Matthews Band - You Might Die Trying as his entrance music. Andy Dwyer is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Grease St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carl Panzram (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think St Pierre might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Saigon - Desperado. Panzram has chosen Thrash 'Till Death as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
