Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Oil Slick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronnie Pandora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slick comes to the cage accompanied by Careful With That Axe Eugene. Pandora has chosen Trick Daddy- Let's Go 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.
