Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Usuk It (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Poppins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Poppins has chosen Mama Said Knock You Out as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Usuk It had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, 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. Harry Poppins will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Myeloid Leuk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Starks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Myeloid Leuk had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.2lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
