Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ilari Hurma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ervin Castillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rick Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas Lunar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robinson comes to the cage accompanied by Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up. Lunar has chosen Seperate Ways by Journey as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Lucas Lunar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
