Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dominic Vera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boot Head (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vera comes to the cage accompanied by Romper Stomper. Head has chosen New Divide 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Lath Hoy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mo Riggins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Go Ninja-Vanilla Ice. 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.
