Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alex Parker (ranked 322 p4p, 449 weight class) and Travis Mitchell (ranked 40 p4p, 56 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damagon Enchărya (ranked 95 p4p, 78 weight class) and Shawn Antoski (ranked 17 p4p, 15 weight class). Enchărya's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Blaxcaliber. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Santino Lombardo (ranked 14 p4p, 76 weight class) and Joy Rones (ranked 2 p4p, 11 weight class). Lombardo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Illusions. Rones has chosen Side to Side as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
