Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Django Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mahavir Ramanujam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is System Of A Down - Chic 'N' Stu. Ramanujam is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Shiva in Exile - Ha'nadi. Django Brown has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Heinz Doofenshmirtz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johny Slicer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doofenshmirtz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Feuer Frei -by- Rammstein. Slicer has chosen Morbid Angel - Rapture as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Federico Manta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Lennox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ultima Corsa by Mondo Marcio. Federico Manta could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ray Lennox's chin.
