Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Olof Orkidea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ilkka Wasama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orkidea's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, You're The Best. Wasama has chosen The Prodigy - Take Me to the Hospital as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Ilkka Wasama was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Don Morrow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Severi Turpaansaaja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Morrow might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nigga Ready for War. Turpaansaaja is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bulls On Parade. 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.
