Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cole Coggins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hriday Kakkar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Coggins comes into the arena with Welcome Home blaring out of the sound system. Kakkar has chosen The Call of Ktulu as his entrance music. Cole Coggins had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.9lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Cole Coggins has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alacrity Fitzhugh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eduardo Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fitzhugh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Master of Puppets. Silva is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by X is Coming. Eduardo Silva is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
