Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Phil Berry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Berry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tony Allen - Take Me Higher. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between BG Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fill Yourcrackin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yourcrackin has chosen RENEGADE MASTER as his entrance music. BG Lee had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.3lbs, 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!
