Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bryant Smith (ranked 722 p4p, 683 weight class) and Zaid Al Balushi (ranked 89 p4p, 82 weight class). Smith's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Television - Marquee Moon. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Techno Viking (ranked 111 p4p, 831 weight class) and Kevin McGuire (ranked 16 p4p, 107 weight class). McGuire is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. 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?
