Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ryuuji Mutou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samuri Sikura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ryuuji Mutou had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.0lbs, 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. The key to victory for Ryuuji Mutou has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dwight Howard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Millar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Howard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Superman. Millar has chosen Never Say Die as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Dwight Howard could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Michael Millar's chin.
