Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Holy War (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kim Jong Ping Pong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). War's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Pretty Reckless - Heaven Knows. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Conor McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dont Know (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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Kravinoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Melvin Manhoef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manhoef has chosen The Prodigy - Take Me To The Hospital as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Melvin Manhoef was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
