Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Mellendrez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and El Camino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sean McNamara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Solar Flair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McNamara kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Massive Attack - Teardrop (House M.D.). 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.
