Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pee Wee Herman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pete Higgedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Herman comes to the cage accompanied by Pee Wee's Big Adventure Theme Song. Higgedy has chosen Fort Minor - In Stereo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Jeremey Toney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Kalas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toney comes to the cage accompanied by Let's Scrap.
