Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xander Boudewijn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reijo Laamanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boudewijn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Streets - Blinded by the Lights. 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 Craig Wilbon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iiro Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tolonen has chosen Johnny Cash : The Man Comes Around 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.
