Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zero Hero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Onkel Bergmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bergmann has chosen Never Give Up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hero has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Onkel Bergmann 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Jack Judo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glen Danzig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Judo comes to the cage accompanied by Da Mystery of Chessboxin by Wu-Tang Clan. Danzig has chosen The Misfits- Night of the Living Dead as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Glen Danzig will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eildon Heap (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mayo Kermode (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kermode has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Eildon Heap has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
