Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dean Corll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amirezza Pourramenazanali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corll comes to the cage accompanied by South Texas Death Ride. Pourramenazanali has chosen Godsmack - Cryin' Like A Bitch!! 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.
