Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Luis Alberto Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arvo Pentti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perez's entrance music is Gangnam Style by PSY. A fine choice. Luis Alberto Perez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. Luis Alberto Perez could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Arvo Pentti's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Optimus Prime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Munster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Prime might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rich Boy - Boy Looka Here . 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.
