Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Willy McCoy (ranked 1378 p4p, 1522 weight class) and Stevie Janowski (ranked 180 p4p, 198 weight class). McCoy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You Don't Mess Around With Jim. Janowski has chosen Going Down as his entrance music. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Roger Field (ranked 725 p4p, 960 weight class) and Leonardo Pancho Garcia (ranked 77 p4p, 101 weight class). Field's entrance music is Eastbound and Down. A fine choice. Garcia has chosen Thors Hammer - Mexico as his entrance 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.
