Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Serg Kharitonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Savage's choice of entrance music: Vote With a Bullet by Corrosion of Conformity. Savage has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Jackson Savage has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Baba Ram Dass (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joaquim Ermirio de Moraes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ermirio de Moraes has chosen 'Vai Explodir' by Pregador Luo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Joaquim Ermirio de Moraes struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.
