Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Malicious Singcoli (ranked 4259 p4p, 429 weight class) and Dan Maia (ranked 2565 p4p, 303 weight class). Dan Maia struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.4lbs 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. Malicious Singcoli is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Papi Tantor (ranked 879 p4p, 127 weight class) and Zdravko Zdravkov (ranked 2049 p4p, 249 weight class). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
