Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugo Azevedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daisuke Suzuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Azevedo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm a Soldier, I'm a Fighter. Suzuki has chosen Stranglehold by Ted Nugent as his entrance music. Daisuke Suzuki has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Abdual Jemall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hamid Zaferani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abdual Jemall had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.3lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
