Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sam Winchester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Petkovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Winchester comes to the cage accompanied by Carry on my wayward son. Petkovic has chosen BvC Crew - KOSOVO 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.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rasva Jorma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Marley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jorma's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Captain Awesome's Theme Song .
