Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Oleg Kravichenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jakob Tyler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyler has chosen Throw the Heat - Mortician as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Oleg Kravichenko had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Jakob Tyler has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Oleg Kravichenko's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikolai Kovalenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kovalenko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Небо славян!. Lee has chosen I Am Perfection by Cage 9 as his entrance music. Ricky Lee told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
