Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Robbie Alcatraz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dylan Summers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alcatraz's entrance music is The Ducky Boys - Break Me. A fine choice. Summers has chosen Meatloaf: In The Land Of The Pigs as his entrance music. 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?
