Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Guilherme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stevie Wait (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guilherme kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gravel Pit. Wait is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Times Up. 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 Stevie Wait was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Evil Ryu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorge Kelvin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Evil Ryu had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.7lbs, 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
