Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Will Dickinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josh Sloop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dickinson comes to the cage accompanied by turisas- stand up and fight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kimo Kanoa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyoto Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kanoa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tupac - Killuminati. Kimo Kanoa has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
