Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Paul Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Biggs Wafers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogan's entrance music is The Faint - The Geeks Were Right. A fine choice. Wafers has chosen PrideFC as his entrance music. Paul Hogan looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damien Sanders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Wilhelm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilhelm has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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.
