Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diego Kramer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniyel Nebi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kramer comes to the cage accompanied by I'm Shipping Up To Boston. Nebi has chosen Magic as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colin Croft (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lance Templeton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Croft comes to the cage accompanied by Break Stuff - Limp Bizkit. Templeton has chosen Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go 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.
