Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Al Kaholic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Al Kaholic comes to the cage accompanied by Cant Be Touched. Gunn has chosen Audioslave - Exploder 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Renzo Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Martinsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machida kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is No more Shadows for the Past- NARNIA. Martinsson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bleach - Fade to Black B13A. 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 Fedor Martinsson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
