Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Warhead (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brooks might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Some Bodies Gonna Get It. The crowd seem to be enjoying Warhead's choice of entrance music: Metal Head. Rick Warhead has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Cappie Ragnard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Travis Keller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
