Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Seth Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ron Valdez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Seth Hunter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Seth Hunter had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Skip Gordon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mercy Myers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gordon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Long Hard Times to Come. 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.
