Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rashad Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trent Chapel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Evans's entrance music is Time For Some Aksion. A fine choice. Chapel has chosen Madsen - Nitro as his entrance music. Rashad Evans had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Anderson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 'Trapped Under Ice' by Metallica. Eddie Brooks told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leif Ericssonl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Butter Sweet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ericssonl kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Beserker Rage. Sweet has chosen Knock Out as his entrance music. 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.
