Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lex Wight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Great (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Great has chosen Adiemus 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alonzo Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Slim Jim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jim has chosen Any as his entrance music.

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Falcon Falconowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cees Overeem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Overeem comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
