Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Billy Dessler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jed Masilungan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Masilungan has chosen Return to Strength 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 Jed Masilungan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alex Andre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Angus Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Andre might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Memories- Guetta. Young has chosen AC/DC - Live Wire as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
