Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Scott Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alvaro Merida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alvaro Merida struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 Alvaro Merida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tomislav Vukovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paulo Thiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vukovic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is PPK - Resurection. Thiago is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Battle Ready - Otep. 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.
