Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juji Gatame (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Griffiths (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gatame might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Storm. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Reach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manolo Fu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reach's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rich Like Me. Fu has chosen A Fifth Of Beethoven as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
