Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Keith Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ian Avery (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Keith Stone had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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. Keith Stone has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kaka Pheu Pheu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miklo Velka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Velka comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Cypress Hill - Insane In The Membrane kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
