Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ray Sky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Ewing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ewing has chosen Dallas Theme song as his entrance music. Ray Sky had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.3lbs, 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. Ray Sky looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kruk Ma Kali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Layzie Assassin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ma Kali might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ONLY FEAR OF DEATH. The crowd seem to be enjoying Assassin's choice of entrance music: Thuggish Ruggish Bone. 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.
