Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Oenomaus Doctore (ranked 2531 p4p, 3000 weight class) and Aleksi Heimo (ranked 144 p4p, 173 weight class).

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lito Alcala (ranked 1329 p4p, 2061 weight class) and Juan Kemonito (ranked 70 p4p, 114 weight class). Alcala kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is MORTAL KOMBAT. Kemonito is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kemonito Entrance Music. 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.
