Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Quan Raiden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Slaughter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Raiden might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Boss Battle. Slaughter has chosen The Crown - World Below as his 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?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dwight Elkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie Gold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
