Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fatu Tua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hjalti Eyj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tua kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Freak on a Leash by Korn. Eyj has chosen I'm Sexy and I Know It as his entrance music. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Wedge Xiii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kuai Liang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liang comes into a darkened arena with his song building. So Cold by Breaking Benjamin kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Liang has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Wedge Xiii had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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.
