Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Torin Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams comes to the cage accompanied by Whom Shall I Fear. Torin Williams had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Medofe Canana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ramon Monzon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
