Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Leroy Goins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Enrique Rizzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ha. Rizzo has chosen The Trial 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 Reginald Thornsby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zorrito Falcon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Julio Ramone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wendell Sailor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ramone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shut Up. 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.
