Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Henry Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ghee Buttersnaps (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Kafka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Batts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kafka comes into the arena with Welcome to the Jungle blaring out of the sound system. Batts has chosen Pro-pain - Make war (not love) 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alfie Norks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stack Shillings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Norks's entrance music is Like a G6. A fine choice. Shillings has chosen UGK - Diamonds and Wood (Chopped and Screwed) 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.
