Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fanta Coco (ranked 360 p4p, 855 weight class) and Johnny Lydon (ranked 56 p4p, 119 weight class). Lydon has chosen Queen - Don't Stop Me Now as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Guido Turturro (ranked 454 p4p, 388 weight class) and Khru Jako (ranked 73 p4p, 60 weight class). Turturro kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wrong hole - DJ Lube. Jako has chosen Catch a Fire as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
