Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Conrad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fritzie Zivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Conrad's entrance music is Rider Part II. A fine choice. Zivic has chosen La La Girl by Paffendorf as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tristin Shonuck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jun Xian Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shonuck might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. Lee has chosen Europa by Globus 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.
