Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Emilio Porter (ranked 6471 p4p, 559 weight class) and Jean Lucroy (ranked 5211 p4p, 508 weight class). Porter's entrance music is Cambodia. A fine choice. Emilio Porter had real problems making weight for this fight.

Emilio Porter has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
