Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Luis Alberto Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrone Watts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Perez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gangnam Style by PSY. Watts has chosen Xxplosive as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ringo Spar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alejandro Zapata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spar's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, i Get Knocked Down, But i Get Up Again. Zapata has chosen Tres Delinquentes as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
