Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Daisuke Numazawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiroyuki Okamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Okamoto has chosen Feel the Drive as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Hiroyuki Okamoto was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vadim Vadokowich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Machi Machiko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vadokowich's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Metallica - Enter Sandman. 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.
