Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sam Owen (ranked 2984 p4p, 5635 weight class) and Holger Frankborger (ranked 378 p4p, 565 weight class).

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Trei Bishop (ranked 2138 p4p, 1226 weight class) and Bruce Hardman (ranked 187 p4p, 118 weight class). Bishop kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mos Def - Auditorium. 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.
