Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Karl Grossman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bod Zio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grossman comes into the arena with The Devil's Rejects blaring out of the sound system. Zio is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Old Mcdonald had a farm. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Haffa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samor Kanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haffa comes to the cage accompanied by Black Stone Cherry - White Trash Millionaire. Kanen has chosen BURN ONE DOWN as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Samor Kanen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mr Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luiz Soto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, yes. Soto has chosen Busta Rhymes Feat Eminem - I'll Hurt You as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mr Black has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Victorio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dustin Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Victorio might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Massive Attack - Angel. Martin has chosen Smells like Teen Spirit as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Jonny Victorio has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jonny Victorio seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
