Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dc Gable (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boris Yurinov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yurinov has chosen DJ Vadim - The Terrorist 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Atlas Kivi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renato Cardoso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kivi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metallica - Ride the Lightning. Cardoso has chosen Samba de Janeiro as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Atlas Kivi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Atlas Kivi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
