Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bernhard Adelhard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bartek Pietrzak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Adelhard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Godsmack - I Stand Alone. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Kordell Bailey Sr. (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clinton Hessler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). and Clinton Hessler. Bailey Sr. kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Damian Marley - Road To Zion. 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.
