Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carney Duffy (ranked 1805 p4p, 225 weight class) and Alonzo Trotter (ranked 2994 p4p, 331 weight class). Duffy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Brawl - Bloody spit. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Chico Grande (ranked 16 p4p, 4 weight class) and Junior Vilson (ranked 217 p4p, 26 weight class). Grande comes to the cage accompanied by Dead By Dawn by Deicide . Vilson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Haiti Voodoo Music. 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.
