Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Zepp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Kampemann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zepp kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Boom! Shake The Room . The crowd seem to be enjoying Kampemann's choice of entrance music: pretty enough. 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?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Olaf Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frost's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei. Watson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Till I Collapse- Eminem. 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.
