Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aishah Bin Sari (ranked 180 p4p, 341 weight class) and Atticus Finch (ranked 25 p4p, 41 weight class). Bin Sari comes into the arena with For Heavy Metal we will die! blaring out of the sound system. Finch comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ghetto Bird- Ice Cube 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randy Randleman (ranked 13 p4p, 22 weight class) and Boris Krylov (ranked 3 p4p, 5 weight class). Randleman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch. 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?
