Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aksel Stenger (ranked 987 p4p, 139 weight class) and Aito Lager (ranked 1034 p4p, 146 weight class). Stenger comes to the cage accompanied by Hit2face - Ain't it nice to get hit to the face?. Lager has chosen Army Of The Pharaohs - Seven as his entrance music. 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?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Rutherford (ranked 951 p4p, 132 weight class) and Randy Miller (ranked 957 p4p, 134 weight class). Miller comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Who Was In My Room Last Night by Butthole Surfers kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Randy Miller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
