Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kyo Kurosaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Shanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kurosaki comes to the cage accompanied by Different Sense - Dir En Grey. Shanks is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dethklok - The Cyborg Slayers. 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 Michael Shanks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tiago Camilo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tor Pellinore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Camilo comes into the arena with Time blaring out of the sound system. Pellinore comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Alpha King kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buddy Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Ryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Buddy Guy - Five Years . Ryan has chosen Delerium - Silence 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.
