Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack McClusky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McClusky's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Stand Alone. Wilson has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tiao Macale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brandon Spiller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spiller is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I know you want me. 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 Brandon Spiller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
