Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Haile Selassie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Manson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Selassie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Welcome to Jamrock - Damian Marley. Manson has chosen Indian War Song as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jp Greywar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alberto Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Greywar's entrance music is I'm a Catholic girl.... A fine choice. Lopez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Apeman kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Alberto Lopez will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
