Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sellus Gravius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gravius's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Morrowind. 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Titus Pullo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lexington Snape (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pullo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wild Boys. Snape has chosen DJ Tiësto - Carmina Burana: Remixed as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
