Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Randall Flagg (ranked 3825 p4p, 418 weight class) and John Fadden (ranked 4506 p4p, 487 weight class). Fadden is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hate Song by THE HAUNTED. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex John Conor Burns (ranked 157 p4p, 22 weight class) and Stan Judea (ranked 299 p4p, 43 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Burns might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Body Head Bangerz feat. Lil' Boosie & Young Bleed - I Smoke, I Drank. Judea has chosen I want to be a woman - Monty Python as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
