Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jason Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorge Santana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lava Lava. Jason Miller had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. Jason Miller has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shingo Kobayashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodney Wilkes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kobayashi comes into the arena with Kimi to iu hana -Asian Kung-Fu Generation blaring out of the sound system. Wilkes has chosen Lootala as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
