Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ernesto Del Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anton Dorozhkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Del Toro's entrance music is Bliss.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jaska Jalovaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenneth Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jalovaara's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Die for Metal. Wayne is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Larry and His Flask - Beggers will Ride. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Muay Thai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles LaFontier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thai comes into the arena with Town Called Malice blaring out of the sound system. 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 Charles LaFontier was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brick Tires (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Varg Veide (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Veide has chosen Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Taking Care of Business as his entrance music. 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 Varg Veide was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
