Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Penagos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Areli Durga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Penagos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Somebody Gonna Get Their Ass Whooped!. Durga is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Godsmack - Voodoo. Carlos Penagos could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Areli Durga's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kearney McGarrity (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lester Cockenschtuff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGarrity comes to the cage accompanied by Payback-Slayer. Cockenschtuff has chosen Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus 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.
