Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tagnarach Kamara (ranked 156 p4p, 116 weight class) and Joad Cressbeckler (ranked 23 p4p, 18 weight class). Kamara's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, BLIND SPOTS. Cressbeckler comes into a darkened arena with his song building. American Remains kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Braynas Hlervu (ranked 20 p4p, 398 weight class) and Bethania Valverde (ranked 2 p4p, 25 weight class). Hlervu's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Al Qawlu Qawlu Sawarim. Valverde is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: LLAMAME YA. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
