Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Faze Wrecker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lorenzo Von Matterhorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wrecker comes to the cage accompanied by AC/DC - Chase the Ace. The crowd seem to be enjoying Von Matterhorn's choice of entrance music: Barney Stinson is Awesome. 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 Pyyno Janis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Huston Rustow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Janis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rubber Johnny. 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.
