Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arlington Beech (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and De Bruyne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beech comes to the cage accompanied by You Know My Name. Bruyne has chosen Busta Rhymes - Other Side Of The Road 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Constantine Kermit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michel Teló (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Teló has chosen Michel Telo - Ai se eu te pego as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Michel Teló was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
