Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kasey Scorpion (ranked 93 p4p, 13 weight class) and Royal Pain (ranked 229 p4p, 28 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Scorpion might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jiu Jitsu. Pain has chosen AC/DC Thunderstruck as his entrance music. Royal Pain has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Kasey Scorpion's chin.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Three Dog (ranked 55 p4p, 10 weight class) and Leeland Lillard (ranked 261 p4p, 36 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dog might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fallout. 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.
