Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alexsandro De Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Alvado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Souza's entrance music is Alex De Souza. A fine choice. Alvado has chosen Obie Trice - Ups & Downs as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 MC Wisk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex John Conor Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burns is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Body Head Bangerz feat. Lil' Boosie & Young Bleed - I Smoke, I Drank. 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?
