Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Albert Sojka (ranked 1978 p4p, 1269 weight class) and Roman Reyes (ranked 265 p4p, 173 weight class). Reyes has chosen Zack Hemsey - Vengeance as his entrance music. Roman Reyes struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Georges Moxley (ranked 271 p4p, 180 weight class) and Hugo Loris (ranked 40 p4p, 24 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Moxley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Andre Nickatina - Color of the Benz. 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.
