Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zekariays Solomon (ranked 1569 p4p, 1948 weight class) and Loki Kvakkestad (ranked 239 p4p, 287 weight class). Kvakkestad has chosen Contempt - Jucifer 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gotan Wasselach (ranked 328 p4p, 369 weight class) and Gwynn Evans (ranked 49 p4p, 60 weight class). Wasselach's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Time Is On My Side by Maze. Gwynn Evans told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
