Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn Ragnarsson (ranked 1034 p4p, 145 weight class) and Sonny Ray Razor (ranked 988 p4p, 138 weight class). Ragnarsson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Anja - Where I Am. Razor has chosen ONYX Feat. Biohazard - Judgment Night 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hyryx Dall (ranked 149 p4p, 23 weight class) and Alex Asztalos (ranked 161 p4p, 27 weight class). Dall comes into the arena with Rattlesnake blaring out of the sound system. Asztalos is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dethroned Emperor by Celtic Frost. 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?
