Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Malietoa Feti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davor Langerholc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Feti's entrance music is Testament - Ride. A fine choice. Langerholc has chosen Hypocrisy - Fractured Millennium as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Malietoa Feti has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lance Templeton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Hoffman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Templeton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Trap Ball. 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.
