Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Murilo Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fabiano Contreiras (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Souza comes to the cage accompanied by Talib Kweli-Palookas. Contreiras has chosen Whiskey in the jar as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Hoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcelo Ribeiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoe's entrance music is Ivanhoe theme.

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.
