Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sean Yuen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Stryker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnny Stryker struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.2lbs 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. Sean Yuen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Konrad Koltun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bod Zio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koltun comes to the cage accompanied by Hans Solo - Dopoki jestem. Zio has chosen Old Mcdonald had a farm as his entrance music. 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 Bod Zio was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
