Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Semmy Kasteel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Kuklinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kasteel's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Celtic Music. Kuklinski has chosen Confessions Of A Mafia Hitman as his entrance music. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Edward Furlong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Just (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Furlong kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Say it Ain't So. Just has chosen Intriguing Possibilities- Trent Reznor as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luca Turilli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Saraiva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turilli kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is krolithika. 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 Gabriel Saraiva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
