Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ephram Urani (ranked 542 p4p, 66 weight class) and Bob Cook (ranked 524 p4p, 63 weight class). Cook has chosen Lil Baby - Southside as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Lao Shin (ranked 143 p4p, 25 weight class) and Tyler Wrexham (ranked 72 p4p, 17 weight class). Shin comes into the arena with Shaolin Chamber of Death blaring out of the sound system. 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.
