Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Nino Brown (ranked 2033 p4p, 94 weight class) and Khalil Mack (ranked 2028 p4p, 93 weight class).

Mack has chosen Rapamycin as his entrance music. Nino Brown could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Khalil Mack's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sven Hensen (ranked 546 p4p, 64 weight class) and Nickey Spillane (ranked 906 p4p, 101 weight class). Hensen comes to the cage accompanied by Soul Coughing - Super Bon Bon. Spillane comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Foggy Dew kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
