Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bam Boomer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Omaly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boomer comes to the cage accompanied by Almost Famous. Omaly has chosen Outside - To Forgive but not Forget 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.
