Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Augustus Belvedere IV (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Street Cred (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Belvedere IV might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Trae Tha Truth - Inkredible. Cred is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Stronger. Street Cred struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.5lbs 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. Augustus Belvedere IV had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Steele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Herbie Fleck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steele's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Freak On A Leash. Fleck has chosen Trivium - Down From The Sky as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
