Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iamu Kinggood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hammer comes to the cage accompanied by Slippin. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Iamu Kinggood was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Haghuv Arnnaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kosi Mazaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haghuv Arnnaf had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.6lbs, 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. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
