Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Holy Jenova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jenova's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pink Floyd - Money. Williams is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by UFC: Closer to the Edge (Jared Leto). 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Tweedle Dee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jax Teller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
