Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terrell Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Harrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Terrell Hayes had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 208.0lbs, 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. William Harrison is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Buckingham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Buckingham's entrance music is Alien Ant Farm; Smooth Criminal. A fine choice. Marciano has chosen lets dance as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
