Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bang McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacky Lee (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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Trinidad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stan Guyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stan Guyer struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.4lbs 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. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!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?
