Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anatoliy Lapikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cyprien Noe Cyr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Phantom Menace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Braylon Beswicke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Menace's entrance music is Leroy Brown. A fine choice. Beswicke is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kick in the teeth. 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.
