Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Riseman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ikki Velez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jonathan Riseman had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.4lbs, 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. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Baver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and kyle madgwick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baver's entrance music is Enter Sandman. A fine choice. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that kyle madgwick was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
