Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lou Hole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam MacLeod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hole comes to the cage accompanied by Tunnel Vision / Tokyo Police Club. MacLeod has chosen Braveheart Freedom Speech as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Sam MacLeod was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damian Koza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Pulse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koza has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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?
