Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Koral Creyonte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Tritter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koral Creyonte had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between CJ Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorn Anthriel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 2pac & Dr.Dre - California Love. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
