Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kurt Meyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tamias Poochyena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Meyer comes into the arena with I'd Love to Knock the Hell out of You blaring out of the sound system.

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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adis Djurdjevic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Binzo Binzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
