Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brian Lobe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Sotiropoulos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ray Olhoffer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timothy Bourque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ray Olhoffer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Victor Le (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jed Masilungan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Le comes to the cage accompanied by Ave Maria. Masilungan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Dying Inside . I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jed Masilungan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
