Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vasiliy Kulik (ranked 2676 p4p, 1797 weight class) and Bobby Knuckles (ranked 351 p4p, 252 weight class).

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bert River (ranked 645 p4p, 580 weight class) and Gervais Lavigne (ranked 80 p4p, 72 weight class). River's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Five Finger Death Punch- Bad Company. 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?
