Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fullsize Mirror (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mirror's entrance music is Ordinary Guy--- Blue Scholars. A fine choice. Barnes is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. 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 Ethan Clayton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nisse Blockson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clayton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Want It All. 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.
