Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Twelf Thermandin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vidar Heimdall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thermandin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Prelude 12 by Styx. Heimdall has chosen Battle Beast - Black Ninja as his entrance music. 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?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cian McGarrity (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reggie Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGarrity's entrance music is Irish Fighting Song - We Come in Pieces. A fine choice. Anderson has chosen The Champ is Here 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.
