Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Leon Scott Jr (ranked 3251 p4p, 182 weight class) and Namvar Khoramov (ranked 25057 p4p, 289 weight class). I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Namvar Khoramov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Funky Lotus Style (ranked 1440 p4p, 165 weight class) and Tyrell Jackson (ranked 3795 p4p, 338 weight class). Lotus Style kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dançando Lambada. Jackson has chosen The World is Yours as his entrance music. 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.
