Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dave Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Jaeson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee comes into the arena with Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now blaring out of the sound system. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Hiroshi Sato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albert Ashton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cajun Xander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Cartman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cartman has chosen Santana Ft Everlast - Put Your Lights On 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.
