Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Craig Broph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mister Birchum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Birchum has a niggling injury.

I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Plocka Bananer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abu Dubai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tom Mot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Reynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mot kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Be Aggresive by Faith No More. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
