Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jacob Peralta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Liam Machin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jacob Peralta had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.7lbs, 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. Jacob Peralta could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Liam Machin's chin.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Peppin Larter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Castle Irons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Larter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Analiese. 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.
