Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Opium Opiate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Rogalski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Terry Tonbridge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kung Lao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tonbridge comes to the cage accompanied by The Cumshots - I Drink Alone. Lao is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Rock Superstar by Cypress Hill. 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.
