Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between charlie bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego Simeone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vlado Petrovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pebble Braithweight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Braithweight has chosen 300 violin as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Vlado Petrovic looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
