Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Scorpion (ranked 856 p4p, 115 weight class) and Charles Hawtry (ranked 755 p4p, 101 weight class).

Co-main event

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ja Wuan Robinson (ranked 35 p4p, 7 weight class) and Harald Gormsson (ranked 42 p4p, 9 weight class). Robinson's entrance music is Middle Of The Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. A fine choice. Gormsson has chosen Saor - Children of the Mist 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?
