Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dick Dastardly (ranked 5617 p4p, 3870 weight class) and Test Five (ranked 173 p4p, 142 weight class). Dastardly kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is DIRTY by- Christina Aguilera . 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Francisco Alvarez (ranked 2450 p4p, 22949 weight class) and Bledge Stevenson (ranked 318 p4p, 646 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alvarez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jak Bailey - Sunset N Santa Fe. 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?
