Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Trang Troc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Izzy Cumming (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Troc comes into the arena with Dr. Octagon - Real Raw blaring out of the sound system. Cumming is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by White America. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arnold Palmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Caiaphas Caine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Palmer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Freddie Gibbs - National Anthem (Fuck The World). Caiaphas Caine will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
