Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quentin Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Corpus Satani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Swizz Beatz "It's Me snitches". Satani has chosen ov fire and the void 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lincoln Hawk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Cordoba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
