Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Three Dog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giacomo Benvenuti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dog comes into the arena with Fallout blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Benvenuti's choice of entrance music: Pantera - Goddamn Electric. 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?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Seagram (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jari Aarnio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aarnio comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ice Cube - Why We Thugs kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
