Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mike Brunson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cruz Jefferson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brunson comes to the cage accompanied by Lamb of God - Descending. Jefferson has chosen Damian Marley - Welcome to Jamrock 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 Cruz Jefferson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mariusz Gorawski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andreas Sisko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
