Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Padeiro Chucro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Ziribastow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chucro's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Nikolay Emelin - Rus. Ziribastow is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by DEAD STARS. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Atilla Leopoldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renzo Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leopoldo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Halleljuah Chorus. Machida is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by No more Shadows for the Past- NARNIA. 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.
