Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Justin Kulina (ranked 1554 p4p, 1345 weight class) and Harris Mint (ranked 205 p4p, 177 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kulina might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tool - Schism. 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?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rogan Grimes (ranked 305 p4p, 642 weight class) and Marko Kersikov (ranked 15 p4p, 35 weight class).
