Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sisi Taille (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Hamilton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sisi Taille had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.2lbs, 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. Sisi Taille could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ryan Hamilton's chin.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gerard Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Scott kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Live Your Life. 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 Roberto Hernandez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
