Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brandon McDaniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladamir Bobkoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McDaniels kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Burn in My Light. Brandon McDaniels looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ming Xin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Che Guivahaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Xin comes to the cage accompanied by Chinese Athem. The crowd seem to be enjoying Guivahaara's choice of entrance music: All Eyez On Me. Xin has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Che Guivahaara was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
