Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Balrog Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esoj Aicrag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gary Clark Jr. - Bright Lights . 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Kenzie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Beasty Kanne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
