Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sebastian Powers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phil Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sebastian Powers had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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. Sebastian Powers has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ed Larson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Malcolm Lancaster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Headstrong by Trapt. On his way into the cage it seems that Ed Larson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ed Larson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
