Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between William Lord (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rainbow Hero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hero comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Пачка сигар kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Pertti Silsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Baraka Simengwa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
