Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Bateman (ranked 3545 p4p, 4349 weight class) and Wallace Everett (ranked 330 p4p, 391 weight class). Bateman comes to the cage accompanied by Hip to be Square. Patrick Bateman had real problems making weight for this fight.

Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Wallace Everett enters the cage!

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jerry Goon (ranked 3157 p4p, 4030 weight class) and Morgan Masvidal (ranked 301 p4p, 373 weight class).
