Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Aleksander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aleksander comes into the arena with Backbone - Gojira blaring out of the sound system. 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 Gabriel Ferreira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Guntur Llaripukinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maverick Smokeleaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Llaripukinen comes to the cage accompanied by Elvis Presley - True Love Travels On A Gravel Road. Smokeleaf has chosen LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It 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.
