Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Max Matthews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyson Drone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes to the cage accompanied by Hustlin. Drone has chosen t.i and ludacris-wish you would as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tyson Drone will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
