Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sten Biller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert De Noteboom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Biller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lützenkirchen- Nutcracker. De Noteboom has chosen Erika - I Don't Know as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sten Biller could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Robert De Noteboom's chin.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Devin Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommi Hartola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Styles's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wrecking Ball. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Biggums (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fritzie Zivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Biggums kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ThunderStruck. Zivic is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by La La Girl by Paffendorf. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
