Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Christian Cavero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wamamaz Wamama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Christian Cavero had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. 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.

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Richard Teixeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Teixeira comes into the arena with Lil Terror blaring out of the sound system. Hunt is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Movielife - I Hope You Die Soon. 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.
