Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Toshi Hijikata (ranked 634 p4p, 73 weight class) and Tom Rivers (ranked 1723 p4p, 200 weight class). Rivers has chosen start from scratch 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Harry Winks (ranked 4239 p4p, 425 weight class) and Nobu Sanada (ranked 2490 p4p, 279 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 Nobu Sanada was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
