Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mana Festation (ranked 1973 p4p, 2365 weight class) and Henson Benderson (ranked 210 p4p, 245 weight class). Benderson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Time is Now. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Smith (ranked 699 p4p, 2817 weight class) and Pittsburgh Steelers (ranked 30 p4p, 129 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lonely Train by Black Stone Cherry. Pittsburgh Steelers has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
