Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boris Djekic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Temujin Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seth Bunga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jussi Syren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bunga might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sledge Hammer Facelift. Syren is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kung Fu Taistelee. Jussi Syren has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Seth Bunga's chin.
