Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Don Flamenco (ranked 1497 p4p, 745 weight class) and Chad Wooten Jr (ranked 119 p4p, 60 weight class). Flamenco comes into the arena with Punch Out Theme blaring out of the sound system. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mason Love (ranked 39 p4p, 249 weight class) and Detritus Rubble (ranked 3 p4p, 21 weight class). Love comes to the cage accompanied by HonestKey- Music. Rubble is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Flux Pavilion x Feed Me - Survive (feat. meesh). 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.
