Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Brabo Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albert Anastasia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Davide Dileo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aatish Sunuwar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dileo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sole Silenzioso by SUBSONICA. Sunuwar is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Peace Sells. 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.
