Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Krystian Wojnasiewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timofey Boyko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wojnasiewicz comes to the cage accompanied by Ministry - Lies lies lies. Boyko has chosen Kamaedzitca - Колазварl 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.
