Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aydine Antona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pete Palahnuik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Eduardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Palahnuik might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Machine Civilization. Eduardo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Numb. 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.
