Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Roy Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zachary Mendoza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robinson comes into the arena with Redemption!!! from the movie Rocky II blaring out of the sound system. 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.
