Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Robert Frost (ranked 4188 p4p, 3335 weight class) and Blinko Felly (ranked 200 p4p, 168 weight class). Frost comes to the cage accompanied by SETH ECT - B.L.A.S.T. Blinko Felly struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Son Goku (ranked 4436 p4p, 3111 weight class) and Jane Malley (ranked 479 p4p, 354 weight class). Goku kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Makafushigi Adventure. 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 Carter Wright (ranked 540 p4p, 923 weight class) and Musan Zaintashara (ranked 76 p4p, 130 weight class). Zaintashara has chosen The Art of War 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.
