Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dan Averescu (ranked 2624 p4p, 3983 weight class) and Dwight Schrute (ranked 290 p4p, 411 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kwame Redcliffe (ranked 105 p4p, 301 weight class) and Olenev Stepanovich (ranked 16 p4p, 47 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Redcliffe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Close Your Eyes (And Count To F**k). Stepanovich has chosen Swallowing Dust as his entrance music. 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.
