Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dave Ysengrin (ranked 1772 p4p, 180 weight class) and Zdravko Dren (ranked 1714 p4p, 175 weight class). Ysengrin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cheeky Nandos. Dren has chosen GETO BOYS - mind of a lunatic as his entrance music. Zdravko Dren 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!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lee Sin (ranked 411 p4p, 57 weight class) and Arthur Halo (ranked 1337 p4p, 179 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Original Nuttah. 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.
