Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Peters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sarkis Terteryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Terteryan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Röyksopp - The Fear . Sarkis Terteryan struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.0lbs 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. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Ripley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lisandro Licha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steve Cranzinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cranzinski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Aenima. David has chosen Craig David - Rise and Fall as his entrance music. Craig David struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.2lbs 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
