Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rigel Ko Nachi (ranked 423 p4p, 266 weight class) and Toussaint Bissainthe (ranked 66 p4p, 43 weight class). Ko Nachi's entrance music is Echoing Thunder. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bissainthe's choice of entrance music: Hoodoo Man Blues. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Odchigin Khadan (ranked 114 p4p, 188 weight class) and Conrad Tama Ginty (ranked 16 p4p, 25 weight class). Khadan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Altai Kai (Turkic Throat Singing). 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.
