Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Okereke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Glenn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jonny Okereke had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.9lbs, 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. Jonny Okereke has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vic Sotto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ludji Mamica (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sotto kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Whistle. Mamica is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: KRANKSVESTER-Majko, zovi dilera. Ludji Mamica will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
