Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Connor MacLeod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boudreaux Godeaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacLeod comes into the arena with Battle Hymn blaring out of the sound system. Godeaux comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Battle Ready kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Janjak Boran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Lightfoot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boran kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lief Klein Konijntje. Lightfoot has chosen Rise Against - Injection 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.
