Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaydub Spliffenberger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kron Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spliffenberger's entrance music is Roll 'em Up. A fine choice. Gracie has chosen The Bravery - time won't let me go 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Cid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dilbert Chavez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eric Osiris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phantom Menace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Osiris kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Deicide - Angels of Hell. Menace has chosen Leroy Brown as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Phantom Menace has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Eric Osiris's chin.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jefferson Davis Hogg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Levi King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogg kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Last Ones Standing. King comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Lou Reed - Perfect Day kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
