Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between FiveX Carwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Rawls (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Carwin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to big hands. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hulk Hogin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reach Disadvantage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogin's entrance music is real american.
