Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alex Bonafacio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bonafacio's entrance music is Pose - Daddy Yankee . A fine choice. Alex Bonafacio had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. This should be a great matchup!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Roberson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Melendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberson comes to the cage accompanied by Rider-G-Unit. Melendez has chosen I Luv It-Young Jeezy as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Tyler Melendez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aarron Marcum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jed Masilungan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Aarron Marcum has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
