Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Richard Imer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ban-Ki Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kim has chosen Guns N' Roses: Welcome To The Jungle 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Keith Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pluto Palhares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Green comes to the cage accompanied by Supersonic - Jamiroquai. The crowd seem to be enjoying Palhares's choice of entrance music: TOQUINHO. 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.
