Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nate MacRally (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacRally kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe. Tyson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: It's dark and hell is hot - DMX. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oisin O Conghaile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kreator - Extreme Aggressions. The crowd seem to be enjoying O Conghaile's choice of entrance music: The Deer's Cry by Angelina. 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.
