Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Caleb Cohen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Niko Nakkeli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cohen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wait and Bleed by Slipknot. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nakkeli's choice of entrance music: LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out. 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.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Wojtek Cieniutowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Beast (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cieniutowski comes to the cage accompanied by Sabaton - 40;1. Beast is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: RPS - Pokonując granice feat DJ Teak. 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.
