Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Leben (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Sankara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chris Leben had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.6lbs, 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. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Iron Chancellor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Landry Saracen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chancellor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amon Tobin / El Cargo. Saracen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bon Jovi - Dead or Alive kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Landry Saracen struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Iron Chancellor could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Landry Saracen's chin.
