Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Valle (ranked 2734 p4p, 3670 weight class) and Timo Church (ranked 267 p4p, 337 weight class). Valle kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Faraon Love Shady - Mi Cunumi. Jesus Valle has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Tommaso Cappone really struggled with his weight cut for this fight. After coming in at 211.8, he had two hours to cut the additional weight. He was unable to do so and as a result, his fight with Khalil Burnett was cancelled. |
