Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mate Orsic (ranked 392 p4p, 501 weight class) and Riley Hatfield (ranked 59 p4p, 69 weight class). Orsic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is KRS One - Rappaz R. N. Dainja. Hatfield has chosen Cruel World- Willie Nelson as his entrance music. 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 Henry Hall (ranked 442 p4p, 484 weight class) and Gen Tenryu (ranked 52 p4p, 60 weight class). Tenryu has chosen piri & tommy - on & on as his entrance music. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Salomon Mukunzi (ranked 282 p4p, 116 weight class) and Brock Dredd (ranked 37 p4p, 17 weight class). Mukunzi comes into the arena with Champion (ft. D Smoke) - Fireboy DML blaring out of the sound system. Dredd comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Wake up the Town kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
