Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ricci Marconi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trevor Tuffs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marconi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Grounds for Divorce. Tuffs is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Korn Blind. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gumby Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Sims (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ray Sims struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.7lbs 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. Ray Sims is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
