Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Travis Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nisse Metaxa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Metaxa has chosen Skillet-Hero as his entrance music. Metaxa has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Travis Hunter has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Michaels comes to the cage accompanied by Blades of Glory. Michaels is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio.
