Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Boris Becker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anderson Minard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Becker comes into the arena with Justus Köhncke - Timecode blaring out of the sound system. Minard has chosen I Against I as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raimonds Bergmanis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikolay Baskov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bergmanis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Twiztid - We Don't Die. Baskov has chosen Nikolay Baskov - You are far from me as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
