Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chael Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Dunc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Dunc's choice of entrance music: Kid Rock- Cowboy. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alejandro Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Uzziah Judah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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.
