Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jim Duggan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Enoch Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duggan comes to the cage accompanied by Bitch!!! Where you been. Jim Duggan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Jim Duggan could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Enoch Thompson's chin.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mickey O Neil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Snuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Neil comes to the cage accompanied by Golden Brown. Snuka has chosen Superfly -- Curtis Mayfield and Ice T as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
