Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Stylez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wilson Carlos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jeremy Stylez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Karl Olaffson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maurizio Camuno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karl Olaffson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
