Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Douglas (ranked 50 p4p, 9 weight class) and Serge Spectre (ranked 138 p4p, 18 weight class). Douglas's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Go For a Soda by Kim Mitchell. Spectre has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Kim Jong Guk (ranked 60 p4p, 9 weight class) and Yancy Makaki Iii (ranked 119 p4p, 20 weight class). Jong Guk kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jiu Jitsu. 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.
