Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Cristiano Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Luna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The last man standIng by-people in planes. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Antonio Luna was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Krejzi Madafaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maximilian Percello (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krejzi Madafaka had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, 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. 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.
