Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Takeshi Miike (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Melekh David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Takeshi Miike had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max Nobriga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gaia Ky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nobriga kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Queen's We Will Rock You. Ky is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by TIAMAT - Gaia. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Kenny Gomi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Floor Jan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gomi comes to the cage accompanied by Slaap lekker!. Floor Jan has chosen "Shout" by Agrezzior 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.
