Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Amir Dunham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kujo Yoritsune (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dunham's entrance music is Omar Khairat - Alexandria . A fine choice. Yoritsune has chosen JAPAN 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dylan Travis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stirling Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Travis comes to the cage accompanied by Atmosphere - Bleed Slow.
