Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leo Villa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wiley - Take That. Lee has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joey Rodinerio Bravo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cristiano Nascimento (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bravo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Damian Marley - Confrontation. Nascimento has chosen Symptom of The Universe (1975) as his entrance music. Cristiano Nascimento has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Joey Rodinerio Bravo 's chin.
