Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alistair Overdose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cro Copout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Overdose's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Powerthirst. Copout has chosen you throw knee, i go home as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor A million ankle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). A million ankle has chosen punchout 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.
