Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Turris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ankur Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khan has chosen "Liquid Grave" by Kryptos as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Stan Rivers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin McArthur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rivers kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cyco Vision. McArthur has chosen Breathing as his entrance music. 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.
