Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vampiro Valez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phil Gunderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunderson has chosen Ok Go - This Too Shall Pass as his entrance music. Vampiro Valez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manuel Padilla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marius Budawalski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Padilla comes to the cage accompanied by crank that. The crowd seem to be enjoying Budawalski's choice of entrance music: Terminator Theme. 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.
