Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dirt McGirk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikkel Bukholt Nielsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGirk comes to the ring accompanied by This Is Who I Am . Dirt McGirk had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. Dirt McGirk could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mikkel Bukholt Nielsen's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Scott Spade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Mayweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mayweather has chosen Mama said knock you out! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
