Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Master Chuin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ash Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chuin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Remo WIlliams Theme. Campbell has chosen Sun Poison and Skin Cancer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Master Chuin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Michael Ehrmantraut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Volkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ehrmantraut might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to non existent. Volkov has chosen The Trooper by Iron Maiden as his entrance music. Volkov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chung Quela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christiano Smokeleaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quela's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Queen of the Rodeo. Smokeleaf has chosen Clawfinger Biggest & the Best as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Chung Quela has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Chung Quela seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
