Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vladimir Van Kirkland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zackary Finyard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van Kirkland's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, DJ Vadim - The Terrorist. Finyard has chosen Everlast - What Its Like as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
