Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bartholomew Roach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Muay Thai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roach comes to the cage accompanied by The Simpsons Theme Song. Thai has chosen Town Called Malice as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Muay Thai has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Varg Veide (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rockford Knight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Veide kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Taking Care of Business. Knight comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Stars that Play with Laughing Sams Dice by Jimi Hendrix kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rockford Knight will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
