Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Brady Jean Baptiste (ranked 242 p4p, 314 weight class) and Jihadi Joseph (ranked 34 p4p, 39 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jean Baptiste might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Born on the Bayou. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tank Tribute (ranked 357 p4p, 814 weight class) and Andrei Averyanov (ranked 55 p4p, 109 weight class). Tribute kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is tank abbot tribute. Averyanov has chosen Drago's Entrance Theme as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
