Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joey Jojo III (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Barton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jojo III's entrance music is Joey Joe Joe Jr Shabadoo. A fine choice. Barton has chosen Do You Really Want to Hurt Me - The Culture Club as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Chris Barton struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.5lbs 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. Chris Barton is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Simon Tam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Beef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beef has chosen Arguru as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Simon Tam looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
