Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chris Hartlock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeremy Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Lynch is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: System of a down- Chop Suey. Jeremy Lynch has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Chris Hartlock's chin.
