Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joey Pilsudski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Guerrero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gunther Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roy Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Gnarls Barkley - Crazy. Parker has chosen "Tommy the Cat" by Primus 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?
