Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Da Cougar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jed Masilungan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cougar's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers. Masilungan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Lil Wayne-Drop The World kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Dan Bradley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tad Whippet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
