Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Digga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Lazerbeam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mike Lazerbeam struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Karl Salmon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Sots (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karl Salmon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. George Sots has the eye of the tiger tonight.
