Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cody McKenzie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pep Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hernandez has chosen Heart Vacnacy- the wanted as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
