Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alexi Khazoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khazoki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Want It All. 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?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bruno Braumann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Jee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
