Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Ray Miranda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miranda comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I'm Not Alright from Shinedown kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Jeff Smith had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.7lbs, 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. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rad Jeffreis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fidel Bautista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brock Lesnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lesnar's entrance music is FACE THE PAIN. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
