Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Lobo (ranked 710 p4p, 98 weight class) and Frank Reilly (ranked 533 p4p, 80 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lobo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Keys N Krates - Glitter (feat. Ambré). The crowd seem to be enjoying Reilly's choice of entrance music: Danko Jones - Do You Wanna Rock. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Derek Harris (ranked 77 p4p, 9 weight class) and Min-Sik Song (ranked 188 p4p, 29 weight class). Harris comes to the cage accompanied by Not again - You all ready dropped?. Song has chosen nkoha - Akatsuki as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins.
