Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Hester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson comes into the arena with Straight Out of Compton blaring out of the sound system.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Armor King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russel Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). King comes to the cage accompanied by Armor King. Richards has chosen Meytal Cohen - Toxicity as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
