Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ludwig Manres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Avon Stringer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Stringer has chosen The Loner as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cajun Xander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Berkowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Berkowitz has chosen Macabre - Son Of Sam as his entrance music.
