Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andy Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Sinclair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Anderson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to King of Kings. Andy Anderson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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. Henry Sinclair acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seth Mangler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brock Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mangler comes to the cage accompanied by I Stand Alone. Mangler has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
