Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lasi Leuka and Nisse Metaxa. Metaxa comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Skillet-Hero kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Leuka is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Olivero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Piotr Redinov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Redinov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
