Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Bones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Vaughn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fight Music D12. Vaughn has chosen Wild Thing as his entrance music. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex Cordoba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Paulsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cordoba comes into the arena with English Fire by CoF blaring out of the sound system. Paulsen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bullet Me kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
