Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mariano Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pedro Bueno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Son Goku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Walk with Me In Hell. 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.
