Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pertti Kiilopaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Onanias Runkman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kiilopaa's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Extreme Ways. Runkman has chosen Anderson Silva DANCING Justin Bieber SONG 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Royston De Noteboom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Kincaid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Noteboom kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rotting Christ - Snowing Still. Kincaid has chosen Converge - "Aimless Arrow" as his entrance music. Billy Kincaid has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
