Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bishop Deacon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shia LaBeouf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Deacon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to You Raise me Up by Josh Groban. LaBeouf has chosen Kyoto as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Shia LaBeouf acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tony Parts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bittor Xavier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parts comes to the cage accompanied by Written in the Stars. Xavier is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Jane's Addiction- Mountain Song. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Edward Gamer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tristin Shonuck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gamer's entrance music is krolithika. A fine choice. Shonuck has chosen Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down 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.
