Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Starikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renzo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Gracie's choice of entrance music: Hollywood Undead- Undead. Renzo Gracie struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.5lbs 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Peppu Reiska MacDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zari Yasuda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacDonald's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ENNIO MORRICONE -"Sixty Seconds To What?". The crowd seem to be enjoying Yasuda's choice of entrance music: Volbeat- A Warrior's Call. 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.
