Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Good Day (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franz Ritter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Day's entrance music is Hifana - Wamono. A fine choice. Ritter has chosen All Along The Watchtower as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?

Main event

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Belfort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolf Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Belfort might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Burn It To The Ground. 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?
