Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fucke Keith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Geisha Garden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Keith's entrance music is Tool. A fine choice. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terry Bull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Baptiste (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bull comes to the cage accompanied by The Last Shadow Puppets "The Age Of The Understatement". Baptiste has chosen Akala-You ain't a killer as his entrance music. Baptiste has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Paul Baptiste will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
