Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Zell Dincht (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dincht comes to the cage accompanied by Fanfare. Spencer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ride Of The Valkyries - Richard Wagner. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Jose Protacio Jawo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeeves Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by God Save the Queen by The Sex Pistols. 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.
