Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rover Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Didier Diane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie's entrance music is Desperado by Los Lobos. A fine choice. Diane has chosen Let's Get it as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rover Gracie has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mclovin Mclovin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evan Deavon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
