Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jack Offerson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Dux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Offerson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Can't F with da South. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dux's choice of entrance music: Bloodsport - Fight to Survive. 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?
