Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Zilch Filch (ranked 1662 p4p, 190 weight class) and Eddie Malingo (ranked 2463 p4p, 259 weight class).

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nakki Fakiiri (ranked 1002 p4p, 130 weight class) and Naoise Durnin (ranked 1539 p4p, 188 weight class). Fakiiri's entrance music is Limp Bizkit- BREAK STUFF. A fine choice. Durnin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I'm Shipping Up To Boston by The Dropkick Murphy's. 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?
