Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Areski Chayem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Heymen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chayem's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 3 6 mafia -Some bodies gonna get it. Heymen has chosen Straight Outta Compton- NWA 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Luke Paulister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Escobar has chosen Dr. Kitch 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 Pablo Escobar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
