Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terry Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Yackey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith's entrance music is The Mercenary. A fine choice. Yackey has chosen Ante Up 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Danze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iivana Jalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Danze might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Handle ur Bizness by the Mash Out Possee. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jalo's choice of entrance music: Aino Venna - Waltz to Paris. Iivana Jalo told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
