Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rolf Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Spade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rolf Jackson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 188.0lbs, 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. Rolf Jackson 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Good Day (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dude Viljakainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Day might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hifana - Wamono. Viljakainen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I'm Shipping Up To Boston - Dropkick Murphys kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
