Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Hecker Jr (ranked 6693 p4p, 25578 weight class) and Emanuel Haquerez (ranked 505 p4p, 579 weight class). Jeff Hecker Jr had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.2lbs, 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. Emanuel Haquerez has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Jeff Hecker Jr's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vitor Vasconcelos (ranked 3719 p4p, 3940 weight class) and Dennis Oakley (ranked 375 p4p, 391 weight class). Oakley has chosen Mechanical Maggots by Abnormity as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Vitor Vasconcelos has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vitor Vasconcelos seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
