Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bert Ernie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cage Nichols (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bert Ernie had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.5lbs, 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. Bert Ernie has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Omar Little (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Medranda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Little kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Snoop Dogg - Murder was the Case. The crowd seem to be enjoying Medranda's choice of entrance music: Buck dich. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
