Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Donar Gunvaldsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronald Donald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunvaldsson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pornstep - Dodge & Fuski. Donald has chosen Mac Miller - Donald Trump as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ronald Donald has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Torrance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gunmetal Grey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Torrance comes to the cage accompanied by Shadow on the Sun by Audioslave. Grey has chosen Killed By Death 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Mister Spock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Connor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Spock might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rolling Stones- 2000 Light Years. Connor has chosen Ça vaut mieux que d'attraper la scarlatine by Ray Venture 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.
