Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Highes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Lombardi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Highes's entrance music is Skynyrd's Simple Man. A fine choice. Lombardi has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Vincent Lombardi is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Christian Slaughter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark St James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slaughter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Crown - World Below. St James is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: On the Eve of War - Jedi Mind Tricks. 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.
