Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Potter (ranked 1951 p4p, 240 weight class) and Slade Wilson (ranked 2851 p4p, 331 weight class). Wilson has chosen Hypnotize - The Notorious B.I.G. as his entrance music. 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 Slade Wilson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vlad Darko (ranked 534 p4p, 73 weight class) and Laat Dovah-Kinn (ranked 1575 p4p, 185 weight class). Darko comes into the arena with Ominous Drumming blaring out of the sound system. Dovah-Kinn is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Disturbed - Immortalized. 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.
