Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Juan Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julian Brees (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Julian Brees is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between EJ Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Andre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem: Despicable . Alex Andre will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
