Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Urinus Limberdinkle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Joseph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Limberdinkle's entrance music is BLUNT- The Iron Maiden. A fine choice. Joseph comes into a darkened arena with his song building. TEARS FOR FEARS - SHOUT kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Saint Bernard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Terell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Terell's choice of entrance music: Let's Go-Lil Jon ft. Trick Daddy and Twista. Mason Terell 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!
