Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Caius Cosades (ranked 618 p4p, 70 weight class) and John Henry (ranked 698 p4p, 74 weight class). Cosades's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Reign of the Septims. 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?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sairanix Lokren (ranked 448 p4p, 68 weight class) and Randy Poffo (ranked 532 p4p, 80 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lokren might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beast. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Linus Akerman (ranked 176 p4p, 29 weight class) and Desmond Glass (ranked 230 p4p, 37 weight class). Glass comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Across 110th Street by Bobby Womack kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hulk Butane (ranked 168 p4p, 19 weight class) and Gordon Mundi (ranked 251 p4p, 31 weight class). Butane comes to the cage accompanied by Genesis. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mundi's choice of entrance music: Swallow The Sun - Hold This Woe. 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.
