Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Geronimo Bones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rufus Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bones comes to the cage accompanied by One by Metallica. Lopez has chosen Party up in here - DMX as his entrance music. Geronimo Bones had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lawrence Soliman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samurai Moonwalker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soliman comes to the cage accompanied by detox. Lawrence Soliman had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.7lbs, 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Samurai Moonwalker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
