Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Karim Bashorov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matthew Godbolt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bashorov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hangar 18. Godbolt has chosen Trenches by Pop Evil 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Luke Rockstar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Sturmpruegel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rockstar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Defend With Violence - Throwdown. 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.
