Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Quentin Cane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Koji Okano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cane comes into the arena with Rob Zombie - What blaring out of the sound system. Okano comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Aalto - Resolution kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Quentin Cane had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Quentin Cane had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phil DeBlunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Leshley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think DeBlunt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Westside Connection - Bow Down. Leshley has chosen Step into a World 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.
