Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rajja Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Skywalker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dieter Berger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Manoel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Berger's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cheeseburger In Paradise. The crowd seem to be enjoying Manoel's choice of entrance music: Hino do Flamengo. Antonio Manoel told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
