Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marcello Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al Reid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marcello Garcia had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. Marcello Garcia looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tyson TapOut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Moore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think TapOut might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bonkers- Dizzee Rascal and Amanda Van Helden. Tyson TapOut looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
