Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Peter Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and kade hoffosmarino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). hoffosmarino has chosen iron man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. hoffosmarino has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! kade hoffosmarino will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kalle Anka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shogun Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kalinka. 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?
