Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bam Margera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raekwon The Chef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Margera's entrance music is Clutch - The Regulator. A fine choice. The Chef has chosen Raekwon - Glaciers Of Ice as his entrance music.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Gatherer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johny Slicer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gatherer comes to the cage accompanied by Down In A Hole - Alice In Chains. Slicer has chosen Morbid Angel - Rapture as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
