Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Salazar (ranked 2309 p4p, 322 weight class) and Louis C K (ranked 715 p4p, 105 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying C K's choice of entrance music: Louis C.K. Stand-Up Monologue - SNL. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Edgy Brah (ranked 653 p4p, 81 weight class) and Klay Dee (ranked 1165 p4p, 127 weight class). Brah's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dropped by Smoke Serpent. Dee is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tyler, The Creator - Who Dat Boy. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
