Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vito Mazzini (ranked 1063 p4p, 142 weight class) and Angelo Mendez (ranked 1568 p4p, 202 weight class). Mazzini comes to the cage accompanied by Fade To Black. Mendez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Angelito. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jorge Morueco (ranked 887 p4p, 119 weight class) and Iikka Runnisto (ranked 675 p4p, 89 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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