Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wallace Cobb (ranked 278 p4p, 328 weight class) and Don Bronson (ranked 45 p4p, 53 weight class). Cobb's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Where's Wallace?. Bronson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Glass Candy. Don Bronson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Paulie Greene (ranked 547 p4p, 650 weight class) and Bardia Farrokhzad (ranked 59 p4p, 71 weight class). Greene comes to the cage accompanied by Im Shipping Up To Boston. The crowd seem to be enjoying Farrokhzad's choice of entrance music: Rastak - Hele Mali (Iranian Fisherman Folk Song). 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.
