Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gavin Drake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Jeantet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drake kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Beamer, Benz, or Bentley by Lloyd Banks. Jeantet has chosen Forever The Sickest Kids - She's A Lady as his entrance music. Kevin Jeantet is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leon The Undertaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dexter Ransom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ransom has chosen fight fire with fire - metallica as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
