Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Teddy Sean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kane has chosen Gang of Four - I love a Man in Uniform as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tommy Kane is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bailey Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Horus Ra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Horus Ra was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
