Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Saurabh Pandeya (ranked 276 p4p, 313 weight class) and Rudolf Meine (ranked 40 p4p, 45 weight class). Pandeya kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Clan In Da Front. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nicholaus Strauss (ranked 413 p4p, 447 weight class) and Norman Boma (ranked 60 p4p, 66 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Boma's choice of entrance music: Drowning Pool - Bodies. 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 Brock Dredd (ranked 165 p4p, 325 weight class) and Samuel Jones (ranked 19 p4p, 35 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dredd might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wake up the Town. 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?
