Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Huimempi Huima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Hetfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Shina Aoyki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trey Guarino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trey Guarino struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.8lbs 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. Shina Aoyki has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
