Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kaimana Kalainawai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Duggan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kalainawai comes into the arena with Collie Buddz - She Gimme Love blaring out of the sound system. Duggan has chosen Bitch!!! Where you been as his entrance music. Jim Duggan struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Veni Domine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Domine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pagan's Mind - Through Osiris Eyes . Tom Jones has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Potatos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Emeka Shakur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Potatos's entrance music is Just Another Victim by Helmet&House of Pain. A fine choice. Shakur has chosen Tatanka - Africa as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
