Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonah Sumrall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Khalid Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sumrall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kutless - Smile. Hayes has chosen Flight of Icarus 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Devin Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiyaro Feitsora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Styles comes into the arena with Wrecking Ball blaring out of the sound system. Feitsora has chosen Helmet - Unsung 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.
