Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juice Pigg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Karamazov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karamazov has a niggling injury.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Slavonik Powarenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Golden Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slavonik Powarenko had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.8lbs, 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. Golden Boy has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
