Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leopold Stotch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cray Daddy Tay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stotch's entrance music is boom baby. A fine choice. Tay is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: JJ - Ecstasy. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Benjamin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nycky Downtime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benjamin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pastor Troy - It's About To Go Down. Downtime is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bring It. Tyson Benjamin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
