Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaydub Spliffenberger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Dillan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spliffenberger's entrance music is Roll 'em Up. A fine choice. Dillan has chosen Kick Ass as his entrance music. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cole Jamison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alvin Joiner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jamison kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is My Last Serenade by Killswitch Engage. Joiner has chosen Whats the Difference as his entrance music. 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.
