Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Samart Payakaroon (ranked 2529 p4p, 2081 weight class) and The Ole Dick Twist (ranked 280 p4p, 230 weight class). Payakaroon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wai khru ram muay. 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 Marco Mo (ranked 2463 p4p, 1640 weight class) and Davide Fontolan (ranked 178 p4p, 123 weight class). Marco Mo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
