Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex Alexandrov (ranked 2838 p4p, 3244 weight class) and Kevin Jones (ranked 424 p4p, 465 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ronaldo Gomes (ranked 1530 p4p, 1516 weight class) and Malachi Lawrence (ranked 240 p4p, 237 weight class). Lawrence has chosen Many Men as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
