Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between James Diamond (ranked 2972 p4p, 1149 weight class) and Ruud Altena (ranked 359 p4p, 169 weight class). Altena has chosen Grontapu by Double Rock as his entrance music. James Diamond had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Sampson (ranked 116 p4p, 557 weight class) and White Cole (ranked 22 p4p, 78 weight class). Sampson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sunshine (ft. Anthony Hamilton) - Twista . Douglas Sampson could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to White Cole's chin.
