Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ace Darko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Villi Kotobalavu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Darko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Black Keys - Breaks. Kotobalavu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Another Body Murdered" by Faith No more & Boo-Yaa Tribe. Villi Kotobalavu has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tad Ghostal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ghostal's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Good King Wenceslas. The crowd seem to be enjoying Miller's choice of entrance music: Johnny Cash - Hurt. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
