Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andre Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yassir Morabet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yassir Morabet struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.2lbs 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. 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.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jason McGuy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Silvers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to All along the Watchtower. Silvers has chosen Con te Partiro as his entrance music. Jason McGuy looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
