Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Le Petit Criss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Gustafsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Criss comes to the cage accompanied by La danse des canards. Gustafsson has chosen Tinie Tempah - Written In The Stars as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Alexander Gustafsson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy McDermot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Hawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McDermot's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, HL. Hawkins has chosen "Tubthumping" by Chumbawumba as his entrance music. 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.
