Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dwayne King (ranked 1393 p4p, 154 weight class) and Bakkes Ackerman (ranked 3026 p4p, 295 weight class). Ackerman has chosen Da' Vat Hy! 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Boone (ranked 458 p4p, 63 weight class) and Roli Poli (ranked 753 p4p, 99 weight class). Chooooooooon!
