Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cub Galloway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Warm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Galloway's entrance music is Jump Around by House of Pain. A fine choice. Warm has chosen Walk like an Egyptian as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mohamed al Hadj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waltari Suokuokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). al Hadj's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hypnotized Lebanon. Suokuokka has chosen Paul Engemann - Scarface (Push It to the Limit) 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.
