Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Terrance Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Villi Kotobalavu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alves might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gangsta Nation- Ice Cube. Kotobalavu has chosen "Another Body Murdered" by Faith No more & Boo-Yaa Tribe as his entrance music. Villi Kotobalavu will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Veto Remmi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fred Ramon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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?
