Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Thompson (ranked 10378 p4p, 894 weight class) and Charles Cooper (ranked 2865 p4p, 363 weight class).

Cooper has chosen s.mouse - slap my elbow as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Charles Cooper has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Earl Jeffries (ranked 700 p4p, 100 weight class) and Randy Donnalley (ranked 24575 p4p, 857 weight class). Randy Donnalley struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs 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. 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.
