Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Digger Mcgee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kai Watanabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mcgee comes to the ring accompanied by Carmina Burana. Watanabe has chosen Insomnia by Tiësto as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Digger Mcgee has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Max Dagani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tra Fulton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dagani has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Graham Wellington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank Brun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wellington's entrance music is Scary. A fine choice. Brun has chosen "Pump Up the Jam" by The Lost Fingers 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.
