Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Firnanda Talha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter McBain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Peter McBain will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Justina Vanovcan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justus Sheehan Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vanovcan comes to the cage accompanied by Moskau. Sheehan Jr has chosen Go Get it as his entrance music. 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.
