Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Richard Dawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rajja Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leandro Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kris Smyth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alves's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Thin Lizzy - Angel of Death. Smyth has chosen Painkiller - Pendulum feat. Freestylers 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.
