Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between King Jan Kasimir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Haws (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haws has chosen The Garden's All Nighters 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Eastmond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eastmond comes to the cage accompanied by Nelly- Here Comes The Boom .
