Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob McGrady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Samba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGrady comes to the cage accompanied by Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child. Samba has chosen Bezerker by Love Among Freaks as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Renzo Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Ryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Machida might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to No more Shadows for the Past- NARNIA. Ryan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Girlfriend. 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.
