Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maxwell The Priest (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Friar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bob Friar struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.1lbs 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. Maxwell The Priest could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bob Friar's chin.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Keli Beast (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Mendes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
