Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bob Fitzwater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Knox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fitzwater comes to the cage accompanied by follow by Breakingbenjamin . Knox has chosen The Exploited- Beat The Bastards as his entrance music. Bob Fitzwater had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.7lbs, 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. Bob Fitzwater could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Johnny Knox's chin.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Noel Severino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Colin O Reilly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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.
