Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Number (ranked 216 p4p, 227 weight class) and Juhani Mustonen (ranked 37 p4p, 39 weight class). Number kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is This is A Film - Iggy Pop (Goran Bregovič). Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Kerr (ranked 42 p4p, 138 weight class) and Alexei Babinski (ranked 8 p4p, 21 weight class). Babinski has chosen Raining Blood - Slayer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
