Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tarzan Taborda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jordan Dick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Tarzan Taborda could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jordan Dick's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between George st nkoi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John The Pitbull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). st nkoi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, number one.

Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
