Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Floyd Chapman II (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Issac Oliver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Floyd Chapman II had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Issac Oliver enters the cage!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marion Cobretti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Apollo Greed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cobretti kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Frank Sinatra - Fly me to the moon. Greed has chosen James Brown - Living In America as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
