Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tim Corsi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Ferone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corsi comes into the arena with Womanizer by Britney Spears blaring out of the sound system. Tim Corsi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, 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. Tim Corsi has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between King Dick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trevor Rex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dick might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thunderstruck. King Dick could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Trevor Rex's chin.
