Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hans Laudrup (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fullsize Mirror (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laudrup's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, U2- Zoo Station. Mirror comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ordinary Guy--- Blue Scholars kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Fullsize Mirror told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charles Martel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ed Gein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dreams - The Game. Gein has chosen Dead Skin Mask as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
