Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Stuber Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kerry Sibley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stuber Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crank That (Travis barker Remix). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Fantasmo McKracken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pat Elwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fantasmo McKracken had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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. Fantasmo McKracken looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
