Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Don Juan Matus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Beckett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Crow Spirit. 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 Diego Jarszczko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Nazarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jarszczko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lil Flip ft. Chamillionaire - Playa 4 Life. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nazarov's choice of entrance music: "Fade to Black" by Metallica. 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?
