Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Donaldo Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bingo Star (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Souza comes into the arena with Sex Dwarf blaring out of the sound system. Star has chosen Octopus's garden as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mercer comes to the cage accompanied by Kid CuDi - Wylin Cuz I'm Young. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
