Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Montana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Slaughter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Montana might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Push It To The Limit. Slaughter has chosen The Crown - World Below 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Jesse Marcel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quan Raiden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marcel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is city of angels. Raiden is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Boss Battle. 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.
