Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Remy LeBeau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Naksuttava Puimakone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Puimakone has a niggling injury.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mr Gray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antti Sokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gray's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, make love not war baby. Sokka has chosen Black Sun Aeon - Core of Winter as his entrance music. 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.
