Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brother Firetribe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Toshi Matoshin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matoshin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mortal Kombat theme. Brother Firetribe had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Andrzej Gajewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Dessler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gajewski's entrance music is Mobb Deep - Survival of the Fittest. A fine choice. Dessler has chosen Tupac - I'm a soldier as his entrance music. 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.
