Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mazard Unis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arnold Jacksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Unis comes to the cage accompanied by War is the Answer. Jacksson has chosen Volbeat - Evelyn Live feat Petrov as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jason Bourne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pawel Tokarczuk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bourne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ethereal Connection. Pawel Tokarczuk 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!
