Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacob Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Mattews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ford might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stand up - Ludacris. Jacob Ford could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Matt Mattews's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Evangelista Nunes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Moxon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nunes comes to the cage accompanied by Never Be Alone. Evangelista Nunes had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Buzz Cloltran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lolo Delaroca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cloltran's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Man In My City. 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?
