Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lynton Miller (ranked 325 p4p, 801 weight class) and Tan Zan (ranked 50 p4p, 116 weight class). Miller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tool - Sober. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gothic Line (ranked 188 p4p, 73 weight class) and Kjetil Olsen (ranked 28 p4p, 12 weight class). Olsen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Liberty by LXST CXNTURY. 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.
