Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between manuel duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rafael Santos struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.1lbs 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. Rafael Santos has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nigel Burkshire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Hammond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Burkshire might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's a Fight - Three 6 Mafia. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hammond's choice of entrance music: Afterlife. John Hammond is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
