Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Slammy Neckbreaker (ranked 685 p4p, 1732 weight class) and Finn The Human (ranked 101 p4p, 275 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying The Human's choice of entrance music: Adventure Time. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Slammy Neckbreaker looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Big Russian (ranked 1054 p4p, 3596 weight class) and Muhammad Ali (ranked 135 p4p, 410 weight class). Ali has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
