Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Urpo Muilu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josh Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Turo Vatanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vatanen comes to the cage accompanied by Justice. Williams has chosen Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire as his entrance music. 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 Jonathan Williams was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
