Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Boxing Spar (ranked 3269 p4p, 356 weight class) and Tyler Durden (ranked 3896 p4p, 418 weight class). Durden has chosen The Dust Brothers - This Is Your Life as his entrance music. Boxing Spar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harald Gormsson (ranked 2597 p4p, 348 weight class) and Splash Wetness (ranked 3448 p4p, 438 weight class). Gormsson's entrance music is Saor - Children of the Mist. A fine choice. Wetness has chosen Pump Up The Jam- Technotronic as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Splash Wetness will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
