Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Masatacu Oyama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Guey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oyama comes to the cage accompanied by Masutatsu Oyama 10 DAN. Masatacu Oyama had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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. Masatacu Oyama could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Simon Guey's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikolai Kovalenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Schmuckatelli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schmuckatelli has chosen Stay Here by SWANS as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
