Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stanley Burrell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stanly Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burrell 's entrance music is Can't Touch This. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Williams 's choice of entrance music: Kenny Loggins - I'm free. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pertti Silsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Attila Hun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silsa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Candy by Robbie Williams. Hun has chosen Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
