Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jon Axe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Erick Darko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Darko is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: S.C.O.S.A - Flatbush Zombies. 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 Jalaluddin Aziz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shiny Aoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aziz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dalshar Project - Afghan Rastaman. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!Shiny Aoki has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
