Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bondye Viktorye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Burnt Faceman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Viktorye's entrance music is O papai chego.

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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dhe Orele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Tucker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orele comes to the cage accompanied by Ironman. Dhe Orele had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Tom Tucker has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Dhe Orele's chin.
