Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Justin Galindo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gregores Mendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Galindo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Boss Life. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mendez's choice of entrance music: Paleface- Helsinki-Shangri-La. Gregores Mendez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kolohe Hakoa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Parts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
