Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Hilo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nerubian Assasin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Assasin has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Nerubian Assasin struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Nerubian Assasin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Richard Simmons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joao Pequeno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simmons kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Take A Ride On My Bologna Pony! ! !. The crowd seem to be enjoying Pequeno's choice of entrance music: Cão da Morte by Mão Morta. 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.
