Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jim Shockey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Piotr Pych (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Pych's choice of entrance music: Pokaż. Jim Shockey had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Lesnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodney Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holmes is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Monster - Eazy E. 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.
