Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abelardo De Leon (ranked 75 p4p, 176 weight class) and Howie Dewitt (ranked 11 p4p, 21 weight class). De Leon's entrance music is Mercenary - F.O.O.L. & Power Glove. A fine choice. Dewitt has chosen Montell Jordan - This Is How We Do It as his entrance music. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kobe Okoro (ranked 55 p4p, 53 weight class) and Haruki Johnson (ranked 13 p4p, 12 weight class). Okoro comes to the cage accompanied by TOP OF MY GAME. Johnson has chosen Shooting Stars ft. Toro y moi (Flume Cover) as his entrance music. 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?
