Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dale DaBone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christophe Duggary (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duggary has chosen Tool - Forty Six & 2 as his entrance music. Dale DaBone had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Christophe Duggary is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Craig Teichroew (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Sawyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sawyer has chosen Tom Sawyer by Rush as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Thomas Sawyer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
