Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Brandt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Idris Omar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Omar has chosen adu-kein scherz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Adam Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roid Mayweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by Cult of Personality. Mayweather has chosen Till I Callapse as his entrance music. 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.
