Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aschen Breaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Allen Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Breaker's entrance music is Disturbed - Indestructible. A fine choice. Allen Jones struggled to make weight for this fight.

Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Willie Wonka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Brighton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brighton has chosen Rage Against The Machine - Bulls On Parade 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.
