Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Sherman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Shevchenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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 welterweight MMA rules bout between H Y Kwon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Swanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kwon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Deadmau5 - Ghosts N Stuff. H Y Kwon could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Joe Swanson's chin.
