Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cinder Block (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dean Mean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Block's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Swamp Thing. Mean has chosen Seven Nation Army 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 Jake Mahone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Turnbull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mahone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper. Turnbull is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by "Haka". 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?
