Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Damien Lok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riley Cooper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lok's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Butthole Surfers - Pepper. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Bryan Larocque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adelard Desormeaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Larocque might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Immortal Technique- Creation & Destruction. Desormeaux has chosen Ça va venir découragez-vous pas as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Adelard Desormeaux has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Augustus Belmont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaito Rin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belmont comes into the arena with 2pac feat. Ice Cube - Bow Down blaring out of the sound system. Rin has chosen Death Before Dishonor 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.
