Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Josh Kirkland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonard Rockstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kirkland kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is My Life Be Like- by GRITS. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rockstein's choice of entrance music: I'm just a Rock 'n' Roll Clown - Dr Rockzo. Rockstein has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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 Nate Jayden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Lauzon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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?
