Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arriorus Adee (ranked 1249 p4p, 2655 weight class) and Riley Hatfield (ranked 142 p4p, 277 weight class). Hatfield is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cruel World- Willie Nelson. Arriorus Adee had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. The fight MMA fans around the world have waited their entire lives for!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pikey Chav Jr. (ranked 1639 p4p, 1717 weight class) and Edward Mills (ranked 56 p4p, 60 weight class). Chav Jr. comes to the cage accompanied by Donβt Stop Me Now (Eurobeat). Mills has chosen Rock the Dragon. Dragonball Z as his entrance music. Mills has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
