Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Armstrong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Magnum Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Armstrong comes to the cage accompanied by "Bullet Soul" Switchfoot. Gunn has chosen State of Massachsetts-Dropkick Murphys as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Oppolla Doc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Winston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doc comes to the cage accompanied by Heat - The Jesus and Mary Chain. Winston has chosen This Life by Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers 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?
