Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Goku Dragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keith Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Keith Jones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Donny Hammerson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and H Y Kwon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kwon has chosen We Run LA- Ya Boy ft Dr. Hollywood as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
