Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Clark Griswold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pedro Aristides Leopoldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griswold comes to the cage accompanied by NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION. Leopoldo has chosen Carmina Burana - Carl Orff as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christian Televing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arne Kjolby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
