Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Harvey Banger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leigh Griffiths (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banger comes into the arena with TUF blaring out of the sound system. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Leigh Griffiths was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nathan Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Velasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nathan Young had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.3lbs, 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. Nathan Young has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
