Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Karl Hermann (ranked 818 p4p, 1717 weight class) and Moganesh Jain (ranked 48 p4p, 93 weight class). Jain has chosen The Monkey King 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harald Gormsson (ranked 82 p4p, 108 weight class) and Jean-Claude Marceau (ranked 15 p4p, 20 weight class). Gormsson comes into the arena with Saor - Children of the Mist blaring out of the sound system. Marceau has chosen Feist - Tout Doucement 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?
