Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between JT King (ranked 25700 p4p, 25490 weight class) and Bebe Em (ranked 328 p4p, 320 weight class).

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bulk Bogan (ranked 1747 p4p, 1999 weight class) and Devon Gentry (ranked 102 p4p, 118 weight class). Bogan comes to the cage accompanied by Land Down Under - Men At Work. Gentry is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hot Boy. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
