Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rasva Jorma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tico Ponce De Leon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jorma's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Captain Awesome's Theme Song . The crowd seem to be enjoying Ponce De Leon's choice of entrance music: Los Lobos - Canción Del Mariachi. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Koji Murosaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stampe Eklund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Murosaki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Now We Are Free. Eklund has chosen Troll - Trollberg as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Koji Murosaki has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
