Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mick Maurizio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silvano Assunicao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maurizio kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is NMH2: No More Riot. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Itor Lamope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pauly D (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lamope kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is White Knuckles. 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.
