Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sam Stout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Larry David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ben Zanotto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tibo Asztalos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zanotto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ben Zanotto -by- Rancid. Asztalos has chosen Enter Sandman as his entrance music. Tibo Asztalos will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
