John faces a young Irish fighter named Stephen Meleady, a very aggressive fighter who will not be intimidated by John's reputation.
John Douglas (NKT) Vs. Peter Tiarks (Sor Thanikul, ENGLAND) (70kg)
John Douglas is one of the most naturally gifted fighters of his generation and has been a POS resident from the start. Having picked up the ISKA British Welterweight Title back in POS4, he moves up to 70kg and is matched against Pater Tiarks from Newcastle. Peter has been fighting for many years in Muay Thai and also has a strong record in Pro MMA and brings will prove a tough and technical chalenge for Douglas.
B Class
Ritchie Hocking (NKT, SCOTLAND) Vs. Matt Inman (SBG, ENGLAND) (78kg)
Ritchie Hocking is a contant on the POS stage, the 17 year old local fighter loves to put on a show and is set to take on the English Pro MMA fighter Matt Inman. This is a rematch and Hocking puts the first fight from almost 2 years ago down as the toughest fight of his life. But this stylish young fighter has developed significantly since and is eager to put in a strong performance.

Jordan Calder is sure to be a future star of Muay Thai in Scotland and at 15 years old, he again takes on international opposition, in Fikret Van De Doel from Holland. 17 year old Fikret is undeafeated in 4 previous fights, so on paper seems like a good challenge for young Calder.
Lyn Min Din (Caledonian, SCOTLAND) Vs. Wayne Fisher (Carlisle, ENGLAND) (63.5kg)
Lyn Min Din is making his debut on POS, but his style and skills may look familiar, as he is trained by POS regular Tommy Young.

Nial Smith (NKT) Vs. Wullie Dempster (Dragons) (70kg)
This a fight that has been coming for a while. Nial Smith coming of a strong last minute performance on POS5 and is now lined up against the explosive and more experienced opponent who also collected a win on the previous event.

Another young up and coming fighter that is quickly gaining much praise in the senior ranks is Conner McEwan, a tall rangy fighter who is good in every range faces the very tough and durable Adam Little. Little is looking to avenge his last defeat on POS at the hands of Raj Singh and is determined to show what he can do.
