Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hector Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krysz Kawolski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hernandez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Welcome to my Nightmare. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between jealous jarvae (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Graham Goddard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goddard has chosen Recipe for Bait as his entrance music. Graham Goddard struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.1lbs 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
