Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Barney Sumner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ichabod Klopfenstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ichabod Klopfenstein struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Constantine Titanus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ta Sau Sei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Titanus comes into the arena with To Glory blaring out of the sound system. Sau Sei comes into a darkened arena with his song building. 周杰倫 - 青花瓷 kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Ta Sau Sei was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
