Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jack Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dillon Pittsenbarger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dmx Intro. Pittsenbarger has chosen Back Stabbers as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
