Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Danny Ochoa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hakuin Ekaku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ochoa comes into the arena with Ice Cube - I Rep That West blaring out of the sound system. Ekaku comes into a darkened arena with his song building. IV kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Qing Kong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jafar Agrabah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to THE RISING SUN. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
