Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juhis Spordo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teemu Yumma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yumma has chosen Poison as his entrance music. Juhis Spordo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.5lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Juan Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tomasz Kowalski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dos Santos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Young Wild and Free. 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.
