Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Fairtex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Kesler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kesler has chosen Cancer Bats - Deathsmarch 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Foul Play (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Iii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Play might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Simon Says-Pharaohe Monche. Iii has chosen IRON MAIDEN : Alexander the Great as his entrance music. Foul Play could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Alexander Iii's chin.
