Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vladdy Stanislov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cary Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stanislov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Russian National Anthem. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Negreanu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruben Lagus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Negreanu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. Lagus has chosen Llevas Polka as his entrance music. Daniel Negreanu has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
