Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tom Eli (ranked 1735 p4p, 2724 weight class) and Sam Diego (ranked 233 p4p, 353 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jisoo Oh (ranked 2554 p4p, 1483 weight class) and Ray Ruthlessness (ranked 332 p4p, 204 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Ruthlessness's choice of entrance music: Meek Mill - Going Bad (feat. Drake). 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Make Makkonen (ranked 461 p4p, 2634 weight class) and Jussi Roipe (ranked 25 p4p, 126 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Makkonen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Epic Sax Guy - time to SMESH!. 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?
