Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Escrima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugh Janus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Escrima might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bamboleo. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacob Moonra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dante Cross Furia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Moonra might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Boombastic. Cross Furia has chosen Vivaldi's Winter as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jacob Moonra has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
