Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Escobar Alexander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alexander's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Let it Rock- Kevin Rudolf. Lewis has chosen Eminem - 'till I collapse as his entrance music. Jake Lewis struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jake Lewis has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
