Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kenny Kwok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kwok might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bitches and Money. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chris Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ian Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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.
