Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roy Batty (ranked 228 p4p, 32 weight class) and Sairanix Lokren (ranked 310 p4p, 47 weight class). Batty comes into the arena with I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... blaring out of the sound system. Lokren has chosen Beast 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marco Ajax (ranked 297 p4p, 35 weight class) and Dixie Small (ranked 436 p4p, 48 weight class). Ajax's entrance music is For Heavy Metal we will die!. A fine choice. Small is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Penis song. 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?
