Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Microscopic Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trinity Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bad to The Bone . Hill has chosen Alice In Chains - Rooster 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stack Shillings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Proudstar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shillings might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to UGK - Diamonds and Wood (Chopped and Screwed). Proudstar has chosen On the Warpath as his entrance music. James Proudstar 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!
