Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Hammar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Kilimanjaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nicolas Zerka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonas Torsted (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ralph Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Kova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to we'll be alright - Travie McCoy. Kova has chosen Jääkärimarssi as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Tiernan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tiernan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to DESERT STORM by Tartanic. 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.
