Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Blank (ranked 1134 p4p, 990 weight class) and Valdo Calamari (ranked 132 p4p, 115 weight class). Valdo Calamari struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 267.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Billy Blank has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mark Beneke (ranked 213 p4p, 341 weight class) and Seamus O Brien (ranked 29 p4p, 45 weight class). O Brien is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill. 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.
