Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jose Luis Montoya Rivera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julius Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Montoya Rivera comes to the cage accompanied by Overkill. The crowd seem to be enjoying Peppers's choice of entrance music: Day N Nite-Kid Cudi. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
