Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Shen Po (ranked 458 p4p, 325 weight class) and Third Eye (ranked 57 p4p, 38 weight class). Po's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ei-tetsu Hayashi & 木下伸市. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Serhey Rishkinov (ranked 46 p4p, 121 weight class) and Izzy Bangin (ranked 6 p4p, 13 weight class). 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?
