Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fausto Carsara (ranked 1202 p4p, 153 weight class) and Scott Hill (ranked 1348 p4p, 164 weight class). Carsara comes to the cage accompanied by E'sord Luché. Fausto Carsara had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. Fausto Carsara looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Jones (ranked 775 p4p, 112 weight class) and Henri Jospin (ranked 2464 p4p, 301 weight class). Jones's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, King of Kings - Motorhead. Jospin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Clash. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Scott Minerva (ranked 533 p4p, 69 weight class) and Jim Bob McDonald (ranked 518 p4p, 66 weight class). Minerva comes into the arena with Make The Money blaring out of the sound system. McDonald has chosen Ray Wylie Hubbard - Redneck Mother as his entrance music. 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.
