Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Isaac Bennett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Isaac Bennett had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.0lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Morrison Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Pound (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Pretender. Dick Pound told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
