Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Krystian Soszynski (ranked 134 p4p, 20 weight class) and Bryer McGuire (ranked 196 p4p, 31 weight class). Soszynski comes to the cage accompanied by Fire and Flame by Rotting Christ. McGuire has chosen Nothing More - Go To War as his entrance music. 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?

Co-main event

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Settakian Fett (ranked 122 p4p, 19 weight class) and Demon Monkey (ranked 124 p4p, 20 weight class). Monkey has chosen Bransjehora 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.
