Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ludwig Boltzmann (ranked 1422 p4p, 798 weight class) and Vasko Madzarov (ranked 161 p4p, 95 weight class). Madzarov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. UNDER THE BRIDGE kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Vasko Madzarov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Soto (ranked 2774 p4p, 3184 weight class) and Dylan Smith (ranked 165 p4p, 183 weight class). Soto's entrance music is Parkway Drive - Wild Eyes. A fine choice. Smith has chosen The Only Thing They Fear is You- DOOM Eternal OST as his entrance music. 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?
