Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zach Reaver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ward has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Bill Ward struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Zach Reaver has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Geezer Butler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Osbourne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Osbourne has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. John Osbourne struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Geezer Butler looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
