Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Malik Al-Khaldi (ranked 758 p4p, 93 weight class) and Michael Garibaldi (ranked 958 p4p, 122 weight class). Al-Khaldi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Terror - Shot Of Reality. Garibaldi has chosen Resist and Bite - Sabaton 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Leonardo Da Silva (ranked 109 p4p, 12 weight class) and Gunter Vogler (ranked 174 p4p, 22 weight class). Da Silva comes into the arena with Lil Uzi Vert - XO Tour Llif3 blaring out of the sound system. Vogler has chosen Durchblick - Mach Dich Locker as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
