Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Astra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dynamo MacKenzie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacKenzie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Shwayze - High Together. 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 Dynamo MacKenzie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leevi Nikkola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nikkola comes to the cage accompanied by Paranoid. White has chosen Doperide by Saliva as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
