Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Optimus Prime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chico Escuela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Escuela has chosen Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
