Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Boughner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Batraz Farniev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boughner kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is mother. 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 Justin Hurley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Baltasar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
