Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Evaby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Redgrave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyler Evaby had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adnan Catic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luca Blight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Catic comes to the cage accompanied by tool - the pot. Blight is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Suikoden II - The Chase. 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.
