Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Bastarrachea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Brock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bastarrachea's entrance music is Young Folks. A fine choice. Brock has chosen Ministry - Lies, lies, lies 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.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Samoa Joe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sun Ra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joe's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sitting Sideways . 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?
