Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Boudreaux Godeaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Austin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Godeaux comes to the cage accompanied by Battle Ready. Austin has chosen Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance music as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
