Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Mclane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Newmark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Deep Fryer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Erwin Tulfo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gus Corleone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corleone 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! 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?
