Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Clinton (ranked 613 p4p, 517 weight class) and Zigor Azarola (ranked 51 p4p, 43 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Azarola's choice of entrance music: Million Shattered Swords by Witchrot. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ray White (ranked 869 p4p, 513 weight class) and Kelly Van Soest (ranked 70 p4p, 41 weight class). White kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is HonestKey- Change. Van Soest has chosen Philipee Rochard - The World (Frequencerz Remix) 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?
