Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Flavio Lazzarini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bon Aqua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lazzarini's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Goffredo Mameli - 'Il Canto degli Italiani'. Flavio Lazzarini had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 188.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Atlas Kivi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josiah Bartlet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kivi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metallica - Ride the Lightning. Bartlet has chosen FM - 1 O'clock Tomorrow as his entrance music. 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?
