Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Zach Hainer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodel Hiligaynon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hainer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Diabolic "Frontlines" . Hiligaynon has chosen Down and Out as his entrance music. 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 Pluto Palhares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and M J Shain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palhares comes to the cage accompanied by TOQUINHO. Shain has chosen Thunderstruck as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that M J Shain was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
