Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dan Sims (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Zann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zann is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Voices. Dan Sims had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Melvin Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Superhulk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Williams might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to D-Block ft. OJ Da Juiceman - Show Em . Kevin Superhulk struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.3lbs 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruno Masterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alfie Pickett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Masterson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Stinkfist. 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?
