Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dilbert Chavez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julius Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chavez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to When Worlds Colide. Peppers has chosen Day N Nite-Kid Cudi as his entrance music. 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?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hank Patterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bronco Buster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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.
