Co-main event

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Santtu Selluliitti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Action Bronson - Barry Horowitz. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ameri CanChopper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abdul Raheem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). CanChopper comes to the cage accompanied by Badass. Raheem is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sami Yusuf - Supplication. 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.
