Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Frank Kossu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kossu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Viunaa. Marcus Davis has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Miller comes to the cage accompanied by Moby - Extreme Ways . DeAntonio comes into a darkened arena with his song building. "Psychosocial" by Slipknot kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Jason Miller had real problems making weight for this fight.
