Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Red Wolf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Filipe Bon Peza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wolf might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shawnee Sioux War Dance. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Beautiful Disaster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Jensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beautiful Disaster had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Tyler Jensen is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
