Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Tatov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freeman Blackford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Igor Tatov could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Freeman Blackford's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jean Pierre Babin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calvin Duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Babin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to South Park - Let's Fighting Love. Duran has chosen Seven devils - Florence 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.
