Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bill Newton (ranked 233 p4p, 29 weight class) and Achab Denis (ranked 544 p4p, 68 weight class). Denis comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Can't be touched 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Vicente Lafayette (ranked 102 p4p, 19 weight class) and Karl Denke (ranked 206 p4p, 34 weight class). 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 Karl Denke was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
