Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Akimoto Tanetsune (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Gibbs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Akimoto Tanetsune had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.5lbs, 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. Akimoto Tanetsune has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Stonehouse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bartek Walkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stonehouse kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Invaders Must Die. Bartek Walkowski struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
