Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kris Smyth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janos Prohaska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smyth kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Painkiller - Pendulum feat. Freestylers. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Masakazu Aoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JaKaSa Chaos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aoki comes to the cage accompanied by Sandstorm by Darude. Chaos has chosen Moonsorrow - Kuolleiden maa 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Binzo Binzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Larkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Binzo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hair of the Dog by Nazareth. Larkin has chosen I'm Shipping Up To Boston as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Binzo Binzo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
