Slyker has chosen It's Amazing by Kanye West as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Cain Slyker has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Pigeon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesus Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pigeon comes into the arena with Hank Williams Jr. - Country Boy Can Survive blaring out of the sound system. Ramirez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Joyenergizer. 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jose Cronos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Helio Perrera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cronos comes to the cage accompanied by Sandstorm. 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 Helio Perrera was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
