Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Inspectah Deck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Murphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Deck kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Raekwon feat. Inspectah Deck, GZA-Guillotine (Swordz). Murphy has chosen The Warrior's Code as his entrance music. Inspectah Deck could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tyler Murphy's chin.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Santiago Calirante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Piotr Rasputin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Calirante comes to the cage accompanied by Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rasputin's choice of entrance music: Evil Scarecrow- Robotatron. 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.
