Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sebastien Linne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirill Petrov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Linne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Arcturus - The Chaos Path. Petrov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Iron Man. Sebastien Linne has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Czech (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Heidegger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Heidegger is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Heartbeats. 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.
