Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sten Kil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pure White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kil's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Over The Hills And Far Away. Sten Kil had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, 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. 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 El Chihuahua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Martel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chihuahua might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cypress Hill - Rise Up. 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?
