Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kerry Lawson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lawson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Animals as leaders -soraya. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Devil Jho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gustavo Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jho might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Into the Abyss. Toro has chosen Knife Party / Bonfire as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Gustavo Toro was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
