Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between The Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Takeru Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guy comes into the arena with Old Spice Guy Intro blaring out of the sound system. Kyle has chosen I Like to Move It 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Jean Sibelius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy La Plegua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). La Plegua is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Blut Royale" by Combichrist. 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.
