Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jason Pelaez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Murder Case (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pelaez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Never gonna give you up-Rick Astley. Murder Case struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.4lbs 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Duke Gibbons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rod Quantock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quantock is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Meant to be funny, not an ad.. 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.
