Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Soda Popinkski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Branislav Boledovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boledovic is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cannibal Corpse - Evidence In The Furnace. Soda Popinkski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zell Dincht (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lisandro Licha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dincht might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fanfare. Licha has chosen In Bloom as his entrance music. Zell Dincht has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
