Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dy Alvez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mano Thao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alvez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Rocky Balboa. Thao has chosen Sabotage as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mano Thao 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Janjalani Abu Bakhar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Ramos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abu Bakhar comes to the cage accompanied by Allah Wakbar. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Mark Ramos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Reed Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiago Camilo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Camilo has chosen Time as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
