Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rene Sindac (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Grace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grace has chosen Doggystyle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Max Grace was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dylan Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Alverez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diaz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Attitude Adjustment. Alverez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. ALL DAY kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
