Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Athelston Cupp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiger JonesJr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cupp kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Seek and Destroy. Athelston Cupp looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yuri Boyka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego Rivera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rivera has chosen Mortal Kombat as his entrance music. Yuri Boyka had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.1lbs, 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.
