Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dace Killian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Chimpo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Killian's entrance music is Bare & Mark Instinct - Murder Machine (ft. Dieselboy) . A fine choice. Chimpo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by On The Darkside.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fred Hanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Terell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hanks might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. 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.
