Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kwiwan Fogomayu (ranked 489 p4p, 69 weight class) and Dick Army (ranked 312 p4p, 44 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Maya Chigg (ranked 99 p4p, 14 weight class) and Lee Sin (ranked 256 p4p, 40 weight class). Sin comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Original Nuttah kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
