Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Santiago Palmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodney Carney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palmer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is DMX - X gon‘ give it to ya. The crowd seem to be enjoying Carney's choice of entrance music: T.I. - Every Chance I get. 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Adrien Dupont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Unkown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Unkown has chosen I.C.P. BITCHES! MIRrorCulZ 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.
