Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mikhail Rakhmanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rakhmanov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Russian national anthem. Styles has chosen Theme tune to muslamic ray guns as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mikhail Rakhmanov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rasva Jorma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reiska Pekka Retale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jorma kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Captain Awesome's Theme Song . Retale is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up. 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.
