Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shogun Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karlos Vemola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva comes to the cage accompanied by Kashmir. Vemola has chosen The Balfa Brothers - Parlez Nous A Boire 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.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gray Fullbuster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryfus Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ichiro Takahashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiao Macale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Takahashi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 暗殺者. Macale has chosen Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life as his entrance music. 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.
