Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gunnar Olsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fallon Richmount (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Olsson comes into the arena with Till I collapse blaring out of the sound system. Gunnar Olsson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Fallon Richmount has the eye of the tiger tonight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Khal Drogo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hipolito Adalberto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khal Drogo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Khal Drogo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
