Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Augusto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Warren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Warren has chosen London Calling - The Clash 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jari Mountain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nyffe Pehmytkudos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
