Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leroy Brow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vince Nash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brow's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mos Def - I aginst I. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Glenn Cissi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timo Tamppooni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
