Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steve Foxx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Smeer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Foxx might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eye of the tiger. Smeer has chosen Light it up as his entrance music. Smeer has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Steve Foxx has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Piensavi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Reid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Piensavi is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Mike Piensavi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. Alex Reid has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chrisi Kay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Imran Shaah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
