Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Biggums (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tokyo Sexwale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Biggums's entrance music is Siegreicher Marsch - Amon Amarth. A fine choice. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mauri Saarinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Ripper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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.
