Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Woima Karhu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Kaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Karhu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to House of Pain - Jump Around. Max Kaz has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Luciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Myles O Donnell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fritzie Zivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Templeton Peck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
