Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Reskird Hinterman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sven Sevenson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hinterman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg - Deep Cover. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jager Hoffman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Erik Weiss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoffman comes into the arena with Sharpshooter by Motorhead blaring out of the sound system. Weiss comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Through the Fire and Flames kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
