Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Paul Nichols (ranked 2664 p4p, 2534 weight class) and Sean Faolin (ranked 326 p4p, 313 weight class). Faolin has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Tarquin Doomwood (ranked 1972 p4p, 2979 weight class) and Mateusz Kieliszkowski (ranked 257 p4p, 362 weight class). Doomwood's entrance music is Big No - Freddie Dredd. A fine choice. Kieliszkowski has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Mateusz Kieliszkowski has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
