Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joey Hatton (ranked 1462 p4p, 201 weight class) and Michel Colucci (ranked 1938 p4p, 260 weight class). Hatton comes to the cage accompanied by deadman. Colucci has chosen Le temps des cerises as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boogie Rollins (ranked 1282 p4p, 204 weight class) and Corey Smith Jr (ranked 971 p4p, 152 weight class). Rollins's entrance music is Fish Fight- King Khan and BBQ Show. A fine choice. Smith Jr is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: You Will Know My Name. 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?
