Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aecio Neves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dae Kyung Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Neves's entrance music is Aécio Neves Jingle. A fine choice. Aecio Neves had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Manuel La Bor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julian Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). La Bor's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Centuries. 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?
