Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Lansing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rico Dominguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ansgar Axelsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Carlos Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Axelsson comes into the arena with one bourbon one scotch one beer blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ferreira's choice of entrance music: Killers. 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?
