Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lik Alotadik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alotadik might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to When Death comes Knocking - Primal Fear. al-Baghdadi has chosen Till I Collapse - Eminem Feat. Nate Dogg as his entrance music. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Titus Pullo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julien Touret (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pullo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wild Boys. Touret has chosen La Valse d'Amelie as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Titus Pullo could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Julien Touret's chin.
