Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Panzer Grenadier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Lontrame (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grenadier might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Esaka '96. Lontrame has chosen Knife Party by Deftones as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Vincent Lontrame 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!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Armo Kuusela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Flavio Lazzarini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kuusela's entrance music is Promentory. A fine choice. Lazzarini has chosen Goffredo Mameli - 'Il Canto degli Italiani' as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
