Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Russell Lynn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aaron Archer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lynn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Guess Who's Back - By: Rakim. Archer has chosen Centuries as his entrance music. Russell Lynn could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Aaron Archer's chin.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Patton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Barclay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Patton comes to the cage accompanied by Motorhead - Iron Fist. Barclay has chosen I Am The Walrus as his entrance music. Jack Patton had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
