Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jesus of Nazareth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Cyborg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cyborg has chosen Awaken as his entrance music. Jesus of Nazareth had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Eberhart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Power. Eberhart has chosen South Side as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charles Handly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Brit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Handly might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to You Dropped a bomb on me. Brit is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Same in the End. Charles Handly could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jimmy Brit's chin.
