Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stanley Reynolds (ranked 25229 p4p, 3932 weight class) and Jersey Turnpike (ranked 539 p4p, 457 weight class). Turnpike has chosen Don’t Stop the Party -Pitbull ft TJR as his entrance music. Turnpike has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between River Waters (ranked 2742 p4p, 2864 weight class) and Sean Faolin (ranked 338 p4p, 357 weight class). Faolin has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! River Waters looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
