Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Paulus De Boskabouter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eli Bracha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Boskabouter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Intro. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Hector Cabrera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keiji Hashimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cabrera's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hector. Hashimoto has chosen Holding Out For A Hero (Japanese Version) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hector Cabrera could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Keiji Hashimoto's chin.
