Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bismarck De Jager (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chad Tyrell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Jager's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Afrikanerhart. 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?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Superior Nucleus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sigurd Ragnarsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nucleus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tupac - Hit 'Em Up. Ragnarsson has chosen The Animal as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
