Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manny Johnson (ranked 759 p4p, 115 weight class) and Herrick Sahrahsahe (ranked 21499 p4p, 633 weight class). Johnson comes to the cage accompanied by On The Run Jompson Brothers. Sahrahsahe has chosen Medicine Crow as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kolbee Owens (ranked 2599 p4p, 287 weight class) and Scruffy Bushrod (ranked 2436 p4p, 273 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Owens might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Destroyer. Scruffy Bushrod will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
