Co-main event

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Geoffrey King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone comes into the arena with Metallica (Stone Cold Crazy) blaring out of the sound system. King is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: King of my Castle by Wamdue Project. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Devan Pratt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pratt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Static X (Destroyer). Davis has chosen Rancid-Last one to Die as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
