Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dis Tion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ibi Dikki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tion might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Prodigy 'Omen' . Dikki has chosen as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Steve Fox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Ferrall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fox comes to the cage accompanied by Rammstein - Sonne (Clawfinger K.O. remix). Ferrall has chosen Pantera's Domination 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.
