Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ben Riggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and LeBron Stankovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Riggs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cypress Hill - (Rock) Superstar. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and B A (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson comes to the cage accompanied by Raise Your Hands. Tommy Thompson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.0lbs, 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. Tommy Thompson has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
