Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Andrzej Wilk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fridtjof Jarlsberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilk kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Prodigy- Run With The Wolfs. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Danny Greene (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marduk Thorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Thorn's choice of entrance music: Rob Dougan - Clubbed to Death. 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 Marduk Thorn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
