Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Maximillion Butler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Linh Munn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Butler comes into the arena with Comeback Kid blaring out of the sound system. Munn is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by UFC Motivation.
