Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexey Markov (ranked 98 p4p, 111 weight class) and Bob Bronte (ranked 7 p4p, 9 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Bronte's choice of entrance music: Buffalo Charge by Dub Phizix and Strategy. Alexey Markov could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bob Bronte's chin.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harrison Kiely (ranked 11 p4p, 20 weight class) and Hawk Fleximario (ranked 1 p4p, 3 weight class). Kiely's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Swan Song. Fleximario has chosen Funkmeister 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.
