Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Caron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Renald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Caron comes to the cage accompanied by "99 Problems". John Caron had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.3lbs, 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. John Caron has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Dredd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Trinckelton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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.
