Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roque Barretto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barretto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Last Man Standing - By 4ft Fingers. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hezekiah Stoltfus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Judge Holden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stoltfus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Chase. Holden has chosen Act a Fool as his entrance music. Judge Holden will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
