Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Anton LaVey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Church (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Church has chosen as his entrance music. Church has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rocky Blyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Wolf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blyer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eye Of The Tiger. Wolf has chosen Primus: John the Fisherman as his entrance music. 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.
