Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Judah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davor Langerholc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Langerholc comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hypocrisy - Fractured Millennium kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Davor Langerholc was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Larry Balls (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert De Noteboom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Noteboom is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Erika - I Don't Know. 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.
