Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phukyorselvf Uzannavabizch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Uzannavabizch has chosen Brandon Loveladdy's band WE ARE THE CHOSEN : BREAKING THE KARMIC CYCLE as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lucas Emelianenko has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ahiga Otaktay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Reyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Otaktay kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ISIS - THE TOWER. 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.
