Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Pablo Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kimble Cho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lukacz Belmont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Joe Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Belmont might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to N.W.A - Appetite For Destruction. Jacobs has chosen Jonny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
