Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Toshihiro Kai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rosco P Coltrane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Coltrane comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bleed kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cedric Myton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kyle kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wasted. Myton is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Yoyo. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arnold Palmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alfie Norks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palmer's entrance music is Freddie Gibbs - National Anthem (Fuck The World). A fine choice. Norks is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Like a G6. 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.
