Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jose Brandao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Ryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brandao might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Work Hard, Play Hard. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Con Waterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ambrogio Ballestrazzi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Waterson comes into the arena with Oasis - Roll With It blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ballestrazzi's choice of entrance music: Foxes - Holding Onto Heaven. 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?
