Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Reilly (ranked 631 p4p, 106 weight class) and Ryu Aokison (ranked 834 p4p, 130 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reilly might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Danko Jones - Do You Wanna Rock. Aokison has chosen Caroline as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tong Po (ranked 83 p4p, 10 weight class) and Gyukosho Fujimoto (ranked 100 p4p, 15 weight class). 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?
