Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matthew Brock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tobias Kaputtski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matthew Brock had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Tobias Kaputtski enters the cage!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Manny Pacquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Little Mac (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mac has chosen Little Mac's Theme as his entrance music. Little Mac struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Manny Pacquiao could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Little Mac's chin.

Garelli is working for a rear naked choke. Batilla is not defending it well and Garelli has tightened it up quickly! This could be all over! Batilla refuses to tap and goes to sleep, forcing the referee to intervene. A little trickle of blood came out of Batilla's nose as his head slumped to the floor. That is naaaasty!
