Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alexandre Nieto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Solovyev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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 Don Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and J Breaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marciano kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is DEAD MAN'S GUN. Breaker has chosen Hustlin' as his entrance music. 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.
