Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Lambton (ranked 641 p4p, 95 weight class) and Iain Reilly (ranked 1991 p4p, 242 weight class). Reilly has chosen Dubliners - Fields of Athenry as his entrance music. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Luiz Franca (ranked 1777 p4p, 225 weight class) and Kabala Magaluff (ranked 1152 p4p, 153 weight class). Franca kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Greatest Showman. Magaluff has chosen Shalom as his entrance music. 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.
