Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dean Corll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Kent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corll comes to the cage accompanied by South Texas Death Ride. Kent has chosen I'll be Back 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.
