Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pawel Dabrowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johan Stryker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dabrowski comes to the cage accompanied by Pih - Radio Killa. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Johan Stryker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oleg Nikitin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nikitin has chosen Slipknot - The Heretic Anthem as his entrance music. Jack Daniels had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
