Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesse Venturia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Jurgen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Venturia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Tonal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taylor Norton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tonal's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mustasch - I hunt alone. 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.
