Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hogan Robson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Ferguson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Haile Selassie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Runfor Cover (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Selassie comes into the arena with Confrontation by Damian Marley blaring out of the sound system. 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.
