Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rami Sebei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stanly Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sebei might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Bouncing Souls - Ole. Williams is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kenny Loggins - I'm free. 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 Svend Sved (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Takeshi Watanabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Svend Sved had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.3lbs, 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 these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Marsden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Zsasz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marsden comes to the cage accompanied by Feiticeira by Deftones. Zsasz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 2Pac: When We Ride ft. Outlawz. 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.
