Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Leshley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phil DeBlunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leshley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Step into a World. DeBlunt is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Westside Connection - Bow Down. DeBlunt has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Phil DeBlunt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brayden Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paulo Alvarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee's entrance music is In The Morning. A fine choice. Alvarez has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. This should be a great matchup!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Boris Ivanovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fred Hanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hanks has chosen AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap as his entrance music. Boris Ivanovic looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
