Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Strong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frost has chosen "Another way to die" by Disturbed 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 Troy Lancaster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raul Gutierrez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gutierrez has chosen Puto by Molotov as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Troy Lancaster had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
