Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bashaad Al Hammad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dilon Goncalves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goncalves has chosen TAPOUT as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quinton Randleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machado comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Thunderstruck kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Ricardo Machado was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
