Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bee Killah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noah Spence (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bee Killah had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.0lbs, 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. Bee Killah has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Trott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Inge Grepp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trott kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cochise - Audioslave. 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.
