Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Phaneuf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Robbie Alcatraz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edward Furlong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alcatraz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Ducky Boys - Break Me. Furlong has chosen Say it Ain't So 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Rayce Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Childish Gambino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Glitch mob - We can make the world stop. Gambino is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Freaks and Geeks. Childish Gambino has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Rayce Gracie's chin.
