Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Black Belt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Sachs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sachs has chosen Della And The Dealer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between George Oven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mongo Mongo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mongo Mongo struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.2lbs 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. Mongo Mongo told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
