Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Slater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Pegas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slater's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edgar Hoover (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Oy, To Ne Vecher (Fedor's Theme). Hoover is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ecstasy of Gold. 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.
