Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ron Jacobs (ranked 24213 p4p, 3924 weight class) and Dana Black (ranked 475 p4p, 385 weight class).

Let's see how much it's taken out of him. The key to victory for Ron Jacobs has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joao Gabriel (ranked 4688 p4p, 2022 weight class) and Kazhymukan Manaitpasov (ranked 485 p4p, 257 weight class).

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Belyaev (ranked 1417 p4p, 132 weight class) and Gage Mickey (ranked 133 p4p, 11 weight class). I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Gage Mickey was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
