Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Do Who Tsoi (ranked 536 p4p, 64 weight class) and Bapu Burpha (ranked 280 p4p, 37 weight class). Tsoi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is !!!. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Davie Brophy (ranked 197 p4p, 29 weight class) and The Hound (ranked 1355 p4p, 156 weight class). Brophy comes into the arena with Pantera - Walk blaring out of the sound system. 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 The Hound was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ozzy McKane (ranked 53 p4p, 5 weight class) and Katu Partio (ranked 578 p4p, 70 weight class). McKane's entrance music is SAIL - AWOLNATION. A fine choice. Partio comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sininen sunnuntai kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Katu Partio told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Corey Davis (ranked 315 p4p, 41 weight class) and Gauthier St. Georges (ranked 70 p4p, 9 weight class). Davis comes to the cage accompanied by Can't Be Touched. St. Georges has chosen Jiu Jitsu as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
