Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zephaniah Judah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shannon Chille (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Murheellinen Vilkuttaja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silva Zoldyck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zoldyck has chosen You've Seen The Butcher by Deftones as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
