Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Archie Fallon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glen Quagmire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fallon comes to the cage accompanied by Between the Hammer and Anvil. Archie Fallon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. Archie Fallon has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Caleb Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rubin Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foster's entrance music is Lynyrd Skynrd - Sweet Home Alabama. A fine choice. Carter has chosen Bob Dylan - Hurricane as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
