Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Eastmond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Carlo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eastmond's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Nelly- Here Comes The Boom . Carlo comes into a darkened arena with his song building. NFG-Anthem for the Unwanted kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Augustus Belmont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Edwards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belmont kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hurt - Johnny Cash. Edwards has chosen The Who - Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting as his entrance music. 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 Mark Edwards was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
