Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mehdi Kanaani (ranked 2745 p4p, 23812 weight class) and Krzysztof Zakrzewski (ranked 244 p4p, 419 weight class). Kanaani comes to the cage accompanied by Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Nuthin' But A G Thang. Mehdi Kanaani had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 Krzysztof Zakrzewski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sparky Anderson (ranked 681 p4p, 1037 weight class) and Marcus Hansen (ranked 97 p4p, 152 weight class). Anderson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pick up man. Hansen has chosen Black Sabbath - Iron Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
