Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between David Ridgeon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Bogilewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ridgeon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The last fight. Bogilewicz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hans Solo - Dopóki jestem. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Glenn Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Williamson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williamson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Iggy Pop - Lust For Life . Glenn Benton had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Glenn Benton has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
