Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Maritn Boudreaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edwin Meadows (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boudreaux comes to the cage accompanied by The Prince. Meadows has chosen Punky's Whips as his entrance music. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Ohad Everett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Kenyon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Everett might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dont Monkey With Another Mans Monkey. Kenyon is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Illinois Enema Bandit. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
