Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Mayor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ole Solseng (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Solseng is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mama Said Knock You Out. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ole Solseng was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Puntti Manne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ernesto Del Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
