Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Collin Glorious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bingo Star (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Glorious comes into the arena with Rick Ross ft Weezy - I'm a G blaring out of the sound system. Star is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Octopus's garden. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Bam Jackass (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Rubble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackass might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jackass theme song. Rubble has chosen Rage Against The Machine - No Shelter as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
