Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Edward Keller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikhail Popov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Popov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Tom Sawyer - Rush. Edward Keller had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Edward Keller has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Pablo Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaemin Jeong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Green might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Unforgiven. Jeong has chosen Itaewon Freedom - UV feat JY Park as his entrance music. Jaemin Jeong has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Juan Pablo Green's chin.
