Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andy Kopecki (ranked 1308 p4p, 713 weight class) and Lutalo Masamba (ranked 154 p4p, 92 weight class). Masamba has chosen Conversations (Skeler Remix) - Juice WRLD as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jax Chambers (ranked 199 p4p, 445 weight class) and Lucretinaus Olcinius (ranked 17 p4p, 31 weight class). Olcinius has chosen Test My Love (Skeler Remix) - Lithe as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Lucretinaus Olcinius was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carlo Pedersoli (ranked 21 p4p, 72 weight class) and Polish Power (ranked 2 p4p, 4 weight class). Power is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Xanadu by Ummet Ozcan. 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?
