Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alan Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doc Chillum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bundy comes to the cage accompanied by God Hates a Coward. Chillum is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: High Hopes - Pink Floyd. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Otso Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Crassus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jokinen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, E.S. Posthumus - Unstoppable. Crassus comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rome kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
