Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Kulakov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Vos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kulakov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lube-Shparu. Vos comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Three Little Birds kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Viktor Kulakov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Viktor Kulakov is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Quaid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Shephard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quaid kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Total Recall. Shephard has chosen You All Everybody 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.
