Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Al Bartlett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franck Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Franck Miller struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.2lbs 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sam Samuels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Mamba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mamba has chosen Here Comes The Hotstepper 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 Bobby Mamba was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
