Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Janos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lenny Mclean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ta Sau Yat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darius Badolato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sau Yat comes to the cage accompanied by 周杰倫 - 青花瓷. Badolato is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Nneka - Heartbeat. 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.
