Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sven Johansson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ukko Petkele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gerard Merde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clint Wendell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Merde kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mötorhead's Burner. Wendell has chosen as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
