Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rufus Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lopez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Party up in here - DMX. 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 Steve Austin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Peralta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Austin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance music. 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?
