Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alejandro Contreras (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Huang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Contreras might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gidafilia Kaliente. Huang has chosen Special Agent Huang 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Cozard Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Peterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cozard Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kid Rock- You Never Met a Motherfucker Quite Like Me. Peterson has chosen The Movement as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Patrick Peterson will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
