Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gotard Krasnodebski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franky Finger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Finger has chosen Eminem - You Don't Know ft. 50 Cent, Cashis, Lloyd Banks 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.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jupiter Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antti Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
