Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tekashi Six Nine (ranked 388 p4p, 632 weight class) and Ibasour Sershurrapal (ranked 36 p4p, 55 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Six Nine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to KIKA - Tekashi 6ix9ine. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sershurrapal's choice of entrance music: Smoking Snakes. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Junqueiro Santo Amaro (ranked 355 p4p, 553 weight class) and George Pierre (ranked 44 p4p, 69 weight class). Santo Amaro comes into the arena with From Lima blaring out of the sound system. Pierre has chosen O Canada as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maximilian Bonaparte (ranked 24 p4p, 71 weight class) and Billy Cubbedge (ranked 5 p4p, 12 weight class). 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?
