Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex Asztalos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Asztalos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Alex Entrance Song . Smith has chosen I Am The Law 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sean Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franky Train (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
