Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rocco Stupka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyndon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stupka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Red Army March. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Martez Cortega (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Avalon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Avalon is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Harder Better Faster - Daft Punk. 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.
