Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dmitry Nugzarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Austin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Austin's choice of entrance music: Six Million Dollar Man. 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 Malcolm Reynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trung Lu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reynolds comes to the cage accompanied by Eminem-You dont know. Malcolm Reynolds had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
