Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Luciano Ocampo (ranked 406 p4p, 1325 weight class) and Agnieszka Ostrowski (ranked 31 p4p, 92 weight class). Ostrowski has chosen Mystery Girl- Yeah Yeah Yeahs as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Olyn Seran (ranked 18 p4p, 51 weight class) and Rod De Minaur (ranked 3 p4p, 7 weight class). Seran kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sound of Silence - Disturbed. De Minaur is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Seek and Destroy . This should be a great matchup!
