Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kshitij Singh Negi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gerald Minor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kshitij Singh Negi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.3lbs, 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. Kshitij Singh Negi could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Gerald Minor's chin.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jake Vos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eugeniy Akulenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vos kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Three Little Birds. Akulenko has chosen Cowboys From Hell as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Eugeniy Akulenko told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
