Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ultimate Hellbane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fink McIllhenny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hellbane kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Barkley, Shut Up And Jam: Gaiden theme. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between SergiO Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ortiz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sevendust - Enemy. Liddell has chosen Eminem - Superman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
