Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Renato Paixao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Renato Paixao had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Emmanuel Bredenberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Autumn Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bredenberg comes into the arena with Heja Bamse blaring out of the sound system. Hunter has chosen Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys as his entrance music. 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.
