Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mike Thai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hy Wiener (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wiener has chosen Fok Julle Naaiers as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dennis Gavin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaarlo Vihtala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gavin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bisz (B.O.K) vs Arctic Monkeys - Za bardzo (video mash-up) . Vihtala has chosen Pohjois-Karjala as his entrance music. 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.
