Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Domenico Mazziotti (ranked 105 p4p, 255 weight class) and Sao Alela (ranked 13 p4p, 34 weight class). Mazziotti comes into the arena with Welcome to the party - Pop Smoke blaring out of the sound system. Alela is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ground Zero (MOP). 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Jarna Kuiva (ranked 568 p4p, 464 weight class) and Michel Colucci (ranked 84 p4p, 64 weight class). Colucci has chosen Drake ft Kanye - Glow 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?
